Dr. Chris Barton, UK Professor of Forestry, is also founder and president of Green Forests Work, an NGO that aims to improve the environment and economy of mined landscapes. Through this program, 8 million trees have been planted on mined lands in Appalachia and Australia and over 30,000 volunteers have participated. Dr. Barton will share research into reforestation of post-mined land and supporting programs.
