On this West Virginia Morning, scientists are working to preserve the meadows that are home to the endangered Mitchell’s Satyr butterfly. One of those is not far from the borders of West Virginia. RadioIQ’s Roxy Todd ventured there to find out about efforts to save these pretty but rare winged insects. 

And, with the fall semester looming at campuses from preschool to college, the president of Fairmont State University is on a road trip. Mike Davis is traveling from county to county in a camper van across West Virginia this week to talk about FSU, how the school is faring and the difference between a job and a career.
