Green Forests Work

Green Forests Work is a nonprofit organization based in Lexington, KY, dedicated to restoring healthy and productive forests on formerly mined lands in Appalachia and beyond. Since its inception in 2009, the organization has successfully planted over 7 million trees across more than 11,000 acres, providing both ecological benefits and job opportunities in the region.

With a vision to create a renewable and sustainable resource that enhances local and global environments, Green Forests Work focuses on converting nonnative grasslands and shrublands into vibrant forest ecosystems. Their reforestation projects not only improve the environment by eradicating invasive species but also support the local economy by creating jobs for equipment operators, nursery workers, and tree planters.
