Our Programs
Agricultural Therapy
WVWR is a resiliency agricultural program established by veterans and for veterans of all military branches. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the alarming rates of veteran suicide, depression, divorce, homelessness, and substance abuse. By providing resources through farming, raising animals, fishing, trails, gardening, horseback riding, beekeeping, and fostering master resiliency techniques we seek to provide veterans and their families with the tools necessary to live their best life!
