ARRI CORE TEAM
To
begin ARRI, the Core Team was established in early 2004.
ARRI's Core Team is comprised of representatives from the
Department of the Interior’s Office of Surface Mining
Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM); the State government agencies
that regulate coal mining in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia; and the Tennessee
Federal Program.
The primary role of the Core Team is to promote the planting of
high-value hardwood trees on surface mines in Appalachia using
the Forestry Reclamation Approach.
This is done by
public education,
creating awareness, formal trainings, and expanding
partnerships.
Core Team
responsibilities include monthly meetings to discuss on-going
projects and partnership opportunities in each State, annual
Arbor Day tree-planting events in each State, an annual
reforestation conference and field tour, and other events
promoting public awareness about reforesting surface mines.
The Core Team members
and their contact information are listed below.
