Southbound and Down (But Not For Long!)

This short film (~20 min) highlights the story of the American chestnut cabin at Many Streams Ranch, near Rome, GA.  This cabin, a former VFW lodge built in 1936 in Camp Hill, PA, was relocated to GA about 20 yrs ago by Dr. Matt Mumber and his family.  This film is dedicated to the many GA-TACF volunteers, who for the past 15 yrs, have dedicated themselves to the restoration of the American chestnut.  We hope it helps remind us all of some of the reasons we are doing this work!

Great fun at yesterday's Chestnutoberfest! Met a lot of new people, ate of lot of roasted chestnuts and chestnut blondies, drank a bit of chestnut ale, and listened to some great Appalachian mountain music from Russell Cook and Friends! If we missed you, please come out to one of our future events. Among other things, we will be having some seedling and seed distribution events later this fall and early next year.
If any attendee has some more photos to share, please send them to us. We were quite busy and didn't get many pics!
