OVEC's Mountaintop Removal Galleries depict the devastation of mountaintop removal / valley fill coal mining and related coal slurry impoundments.

So-called "reclamation."  Author Harry Caudill described strip mining reclamation efforts as akin to putting lipstick on a corpse. And that was before mountaintop removal / valley fill coal mining.

Our People in Action Galleries include photographs and articles of environmental activism.

The In the Garden Galleries offer the Zen of flowers and nature's beauty to help rest your eyes and recharge your spirit after you view the images of the ecocide that is mountaintop removal coal mining.
