<p>The Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative (ARRI) is a coalition of groups, including citizens, the coal industry, and government dedicated to restoring forests on coal mined lands in the Eastern United States.</p>
|
||
<p>ARRI is a cooperative effort between OSMRE, state agencies in Alabama, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, industry partners, environmental organizations, academia, and landowners.</p>
|
||
<p>ARRI advocates using a technique known as the Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) to plant trees on coal mined lands. Highly productive forests can be created on reclaimed mine lands under existing laws and regulations by using the Forestry Reclamation Approach.</p>
|
||
<p>ARRI works on three categories on mine lands; Active Mining Operations, AML projects (Abandoned Mine Lands), and Legacy Sites (previously mined and reclaimed sites where reforestation opportunities exist). </p>

|

<p>Why is ARRI important?</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Trees are a renewable resource and a good investment. High-quality timber can offer substantial revenue for landowners and job opportunities for local residents. </li>
|
||
<li>Trees are environmentally important. They minimize soil erosion, remove carbon dioxide from the air, provide wildlife habitat and diverse plant species, and help to conserve water resources. </li>
|
||
<li>Reforestation restores our forests which are important recreational areas for hunting, hiking, mountain biking, camping, bird watching, backpacking, and ATV riding.</li>
|

</ul>

|
||
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>ARRI seeks to change the existing Cultural, Technical, and Regulatory barriers surrounding the forestry reclamation of coal mined lands.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><span><span>Cultural: </span></span></em><span><span>change the perception that tree planting is more expensive and riskier than conventional reclamation, provide education on the impacts of compaction, and change the perception of what good forestry reclamation should look like</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
|
||
<li><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><span><span>Technical: </span></span></em><span><span>eliminate excessive surface compaction, ground cover competition, and inappropriate growth medium; plant high value native trees</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
|
||
<li><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><span><span>Regulatory:</span></span></em><span><span> change the perception that regulations impede effective reforestation techniques and interfere with bond release</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

|
||
|
||
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>ARRI is also “looking backward” at the estimated 1 million acres of non-forested, bond released mined lands that could be available for reforestation in the Eastern US. The reforestation guidelines developed by ARRI Scientists are being applied by ARRI to selected mined sites for restoring mined land to native forests. Starting in 2009, ARRI has partnered with state and federal agencies, watershed groups, coal operators, conservation groups, environmental organizations, faith-based groups, and numerous universities, colleges, and high schools to coordinate volunteer tree planting projects/events throughout Appalachia. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
|
||
|
||
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>These events involve ARRI partner organizations, volunteer and professional tree planters, and result in the planting of trees on previously reclaimed mine lands where reforestation opportunities exist. ARRI’s role in these endeavors is to facilitate communication, provide technical assistance, and to match funding sources with suitable mined land and volunteer groups. ARRI foresters coordinate site selection and evaluation, herbicide treatments, ripping activities, species selection, tree planting, and follow-up surveys. ARRI's main fiduciary on legacy sites is Green Forest Works. <br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
This post-reclamation reforestation effort has the additional benefit of outreach and awareness that is being created for proper mine land reforestation with the public, industry, and regulatory authorities. Reforestation efforts, including ripping and tree planting, with several mining companies on their previously reclaimed mine lands have led them to embrace the FRA on their active mining operations. Many state and federal regulators involved in the volunteer tree planting projects have expressed positive attitudes for the forestry post-mining land use and employing the FRA on the ‘front-end’ of the reclamation process instead of as an ‘after the fact’ process.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
After a few years of piecing together tree planting projects with donated trees, in-kind services, volunteer tree planters, and very limited funding, the ARRI tree planting events have evolved into large scale projects funded by grants, cost share programs, utility companies seeking carbon credits and corporate donations. Most of this funding is used for site preparation, tree seedings, and planting. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
