🌰 Harvest season at TACF’s Meadowview Research Farms brings both beauty and breakthrough science. Many of the chestnut crosses we gather are generated through recurrent genomic selection—cutting-edge research driving restoration forward. Each bur holds not only the wonder of new life, but also the promise of a future where the majestic American chestnut returns to our forests. 🌳

He will also consider which practices are likely to succeed for American chestnut, which are not, and why.

🌱 TACF’s Meadowview Research Farms team joined the Clinch Valley SWCD Natural Resources Festival in Russell County, sharing the story of the American chestnut with hundreds of local students. Lucinda Wigfield and Jim Tolton led engaging talks on the tree’s history, the devastation of blight, and TACF’s efforts to restore this keystone species. Inspiring young minds remains central to our mission. 🌳

We picked this guy up at a booth earlier in the summer. It’s just started getting the darker spots on its leaves. Is it okay? Too wet? Losing its leaves for the winter? Should we keep it indoors now and give it a grow light?
