The Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative is a coalition of citizen groups, the coal industry, and government, dedicated to restoring forests on coal mined lands in the Eastern United States.

Recently, The Jennings Environmental Education Center in the Slippery Rock Creek Watershed near Butler, Pa hosted a dedication and tree planting ceremony for an ARRI demonstration site located on the grounds of their facility.

This Western PA Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation Video Diary takes you to the Jennings Environmental Education Center to learn how ARRI is gaining momentum in Pennsylvania.

Video Diaries are produced by Andy McAllister, Watershed Coordinator with WPCAMR, and are available on the Abandoned Mine Posts webpage.
