Chestnuts and the HemlockFest Virtual Festival 2020

Chestnut Enthusiasts!

Check out this video “thank you” to Lumpkin Coalition and Hemlockfest music festival for their past support of GA-TACF’s American chestnut restoration program. It features long-time TACF supporter and master keyboardist Chuck Leavell, as well as a brief background on the work TACF is doing. HemlockFest is normally a three day camping, music, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities fund raiser that takes place near Dahlonega the first weekend in November.  Nearly $50,000 in festival proceeds have come to GA-TACF over the past four years!  See hemlockfest.org/blog/ to learn more about this year’s Nov. 7 virtual event – please “attend” if you can.  A shorter version of this video (without the “sciency” stuff in the middle) will play during the event itself. Among many other great musical acts, the Indigo Girls will be playing!

Did you know that private landowners - even homeowners with a big backyard - can help support GA-TACF by planting trees on our behalf? Here are just two examples, one a two year old tree planted in Paul Burks' backyard in Atlanta and one a 6 year old tree planted in Scott Frazier's Bottomlands orchard near Taylorsville. Looking good guys!
