The West Virginia University Extension Service is sponsoring an education and information meeting as a way to help community members obtain factual information on issues related to Marcellus Shale Drilling and the natural gas industry. The free presentation is open to the public, and starts at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, February 9th at Sherrard Middle School in Marshall County.

This is the second education and information meeting sponsored by the WVU Extension Service. The first program took place on Tuesday, November 11, 2010 in Buckhannon, WV.  The three powerpoint presentations from the November meeting are available at http://anr.ext.wvu.edu/oil_gas/presentations.

Initial funding for these programs was provided by Chesapeake Energy, EQT, and Dominion.  For more information on Marcellus gas drilling sponsored by the WVU Extension Service, visit their Oil and Natural Gas page.
