OurStory

At Untangled Roots, our journey begins with a clear and resolute purpose—to reinvigorate the Appalachian landscape and uplift the communities that depend on it. We know that the strength of this region lies both in its abundant natural beauty and in the enduring spirit of its people. This belief fuels our work in replanting native forests, cultivating sustainable wild-simulated ginseng, and harnessing biodiversity innovation to create measurable change.

Our story is built on the legacy of trailblazers like Elizabeth Calaway Daniel, whose pioneering efforts remind us that transformation is achieved through determination and ingenuity. Today, we combine heritage with cutting-edge technology, from mobile labs preserving genetic integrity to market-ready biodiversity credits that translate environmental impact into tangible economic opportunity. At its core, our story is one of reinvention—a commitment to weave together tradition and innovation, community and science, for a future where every stakeholder shares in the prosperity of a thriving, resilient land.
