ALBRIGHT, W.Va. — A nondescript crevice-dwelling snail with a shell the diameter of a quarter played a starring role in the preservation of a 7.5-mile stretch of Cheat Canyon under an agreement finalized late last week.
The Conservation Fund, working with The Nature Conservancy, purchased the property, which includes a 3,800-acre, rim-to-rim tract of canyon stretching northward from the outskirts of Albright to a segment of Sandy Creek, from The Forestland Group, a timber investment fund. Over the next two years, the land will be transferred to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources and become a wildlife management area focused primarily on rare species protection.
 
The canyon is also the home of the Cheat three-tooth snail, "one of the world's rarest land snails" according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. That agency, through a pair of Cooperative Endangered Species Protection grants totaling $1.5 million, got the ball rolling on funding the acquisition of the canyon. -
