The Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative (ARRI) and Green Forests Work (GFW) are two regional initiatives created to reestablish healthy, productive forest habitat on active and mine scarred lands (legacy mines) in the eastern coal fields. ARRI’s and GFW's goals are to plant more high-value hardwood trees on old and new surface mines, increase the survival rates and growth rates of those trees, and to expedite the establishment of forest habitat through natural succession.
