Jim McNeely, an avid backpacker and Appalachian trail hiker, is a country lawyer from West Virginia. When AEP tried to build a power line across the mountain that he calls home, he became involved in representing Common Ground. We asked him to tell us what he’s learned so far, or what advice he would give to communities facing similar threats. (1995)
