We are thankful for this abundant and resilient tree that brings us together. Thankful for a species with such a rich history touching millions of lives across this land, from animal to arthropod. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. #theamericanchestnut #theamericanchestnutfoundation #meadowviewresearchfarms #CastaneaDentata

Here at Meadowview Research Farms, we do it for the trees and we do it for the team! Teamwork is a huge part of our daily operations at the farm. It takes a group effort for our team of six to get projects done, big and small. Recent team projects included replacing the current greenhouse walls with new plastic and our fall planting. Trees grown in the greenhouse are used for research or are grown out to be planted in the field for observation or future breeding, the work of each individual impacts the group as a whole. From putting a chestnut in a pot, to applying research treatments and taking data, to planting in the field, MRF staff work together as a team to get it all done. FOR THE TEAM!

Exciting update from TACF's Meadowview Research Farms! Please enjoy some footage from the ongoing 4-season research greenhouse construction. Contractors from GrowSpan Greenhouse Structures have been working hard for the past two weeks to get the greenhouse up and have made amazing progress so far. Beyond framing, the polycarbonate roof and side walls are going up and just today, heaters are being mounted! Once the exterior is complete, work will begin on building out the necessary environmental controls including the evaporative coolers and automated shading. With the weather growing continuously colder we are looking forward to having a warm and safe new home for TACF seedlings and experiments. We are so grateful to our generous donors for their dedication to the TACF mission and excitement for this project.
