Depends on what you mean by work. Even the expensive survey units will 
no see the signal in heavy trees all the time. If you are only looking 
for time transfer and location you can sit in a spot long enough that 
usually as the satellites move you will find a favorable geometry and 
get a reading. However, if you are looking for suitable geometry for 
signal reception all the time in foliage - which is require for such 
things as speed and trail distance estimation you will be disappointed.
