About this organization
Mission
Green Forests Work's mission is to re-establish healthy and productive forests on formerly mined lands in Appalachia. Reforesting these unproductive sites will create a renewable and sustainable multi-use resource that will provide economic opportunities while improving ecosystem services.
About
While fueling the energy needs of the nation, the practice of surface mining has severely impacted more than 1 million acres of the Appalachian region's environment through the conversion of forestland into other land uses. Green Forests Work (GFW) has the ability and expertise to restore healthy, productive forests on previously mined lands to benefit the region, the nation, and the global environment. In 2019, GFW and our partners participated in 38 tree planting projects/events which resulted in the planting of more than 318,000 seedlings across more than 460 acres in 7 states. In 2019, GFW and our partners were able to directly involve more than 2,300 volunteers in these tree planting events, educating them about environmental problems and potential solutions.
