Appalachia is one of America’s most beautiful and culturally rich regions. Its heritage has been rooted in the coal industry for over 100 years, and mining led the way for the
industrialization of America. However, Appalachia has experienced many hardships related to environmental degradation.

At one time, virtually all of the land mined in Appalachia was forested. Where once were forests, we now have abandoned grasslands that will take Mother Nature centuries to restore.

The people of Appalachia—mine operators, environmentalists, local, state and federal
government representatives, volunteer citizens, school children, and whole communities—have come together to bring back the forest on these mine-scarred lands.
