Operation West Virginia: First Point, SuperForest!




We just received an amazing email from SuperForester Laurie Ann, who writes:

"Hi Jackson and Company:
Just wanted to let you know I did my part to help bring SuperForest to West Virginia. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Register-Herald in Beckley, WV. A copy of it can be found below. Oddly, now that you mention it, my own blog has no readers from West Virginia either. I wonder why? Perhaps there's a bizarre dead zone over the state that prevents them from receiving the internet. It could be all those mountains.
Anywho, keep up the good work and I will continue to spread the word--to West Virginia and beyond.
Have a great day!
Laurie Ann Miller

Hello Mr. Antolini:
Every day I read a wonderful blog--SuperForest.org. Today, the team posted about their worldwide readership and an interesting anomaly. They have no readers in West Virginia! How can that be? Doesn't West Virginia have internet access? Aren't West Virginians environmentally conscious? Don't they love art and nifty gadgets? SuperForest has it all along with helpful hints on how everyone can live greener and save our planet.
Our goal as readers of SuperForest.org is to spread the word. I'm doing my part; I'm telling you. Hopefully, you'll take a minute to check it out. Maybe it's not your thing, but chances are you know or work with someone who would enjoy this blog. Pass it on. And if your paper should run an article on being eco-friendly or "going green" this would be an excellent link to share with your subscribers. As Jackson and the SuperForest team points out, readership is 53 times higher in Malaysia than it is in West Virginia and you don't want Malaysia to get all the good stuff first.

Thank you for you time, Mr. Antolini. I hope you will share this link with at least one other person. West Virginia needs SuperForest and vice versa.

Needless to say, Laurie Ann's letter made our day.

A huge thanks to Laurie Ann, (who runs an adorable blog herself,) and to Mr. Antolini, the fine fellow over at the Register-Herald.

Do you SuperForester's at home want to write Mr. Antolini a letter as well?
It's easy! Just click here.

Be nice to Mr. Antolini. If SuperForest is ever going to crack the impenetrable fortress that is West Virginia, we're gonna need a good man on the ground. Mr. Antolini could be that man.

That's a great idea! I know of a couple periodicals in my area that would love to hear about a site like this one. And hear about it they will! :D
