Green Forests Work

On May 5, 2026, a group of 15 volunteers gathered to plant 850 native shrubs and trees along the shoreline of Marsh Creek at Marsh Creek State Park in Chester, PA. Green Forests Work—who provided trees, tools, and a helping hand—teamed up with Pennsylvania State Parks, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and friends of Marsh Creek State Park to make a positive impact together.

On May 2, 2026, a dedicated group of about 30 volunteers came together to plant 2,100 trees over 3 acres of formerly mined land at Reeds Run in Indiana County, PA. Green Forests Work provided trees, site preparation, and tools. Volunteers were from our partners at Emma Munson Foundation, Inc, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, AWARE, Rosebud Mining, Indiana County Conservation District, and Jaxsang worked side by side to help restore the land.
