To organize grassroots projects by bringing volunteers and donations together to plant trees and recreate forests with the health of our environment and communities in mind.
American Reforestation Initiative (ARI), a Nebraska nonprofit, was established in 2020 by its founder, Alan Weiss, and a volunteer board with a shared interest in the environmental and human health benefits of trees.
ARI takes a grassroots approach to collaborate with like-minded organizations, enthusiastic volunteers, and benevolent donors to develop projects and programs that lead to the group’s main goal: planting trees and restoring forests.
