Being in a coal mining region there are ample opportunities for planting on former reclaimed and unreclaimed strip mines. Other areas are highway cuts that cry out for something green and oxygen giving. Volunteers are gathered from the community, Ohio University students and faculty, and Hocking College. The Ohio Department of Transportation and County Engineer donate signs, vests, planting bars, and heavy equipment when needed. Buses are provided by the County and colleges.
Food is donated by area restaurants.
Volunteer fire departments bring bulk water to remote sites where large trees are planted. The level of cooperation is remarkable, leading to hundred of people out planting trees at several sits during spring and fall weekends. The Arbor Day Committee operates with a fairly small budget. Money from one fund raising drive went to purchase balled trees for a highway site. The trees donated by the Forest Service were planted on Forest Service land.
