Our mission
Green Forests Work’s mission is to restore healthy forests and increase carbon sequestration on lands that have been impacted by coal surface mining projects. In Appalachia, forests that were first cleared for surface mining were converted into non-native grasslands after mines closed. Our restoration work in the Monongahela National Forest helps reestablish habitat for numerous endemic species. Our projects create jobs for seed collectors, equipment operators, and tree planters while improving the local and global environment.
