GA-TACF friends, members, and supporters:
We have started this season's controlled pollination work for our chestnut breeding program, centered at Berry College and a nearby orchard site. Here are some pics of the work so far. At this point we have six trees bagged for pollination and are looking to bag another four or five trees before we transition to pollination. We are looking for some more volunteer assistance. Volunteers need not have experience; essential safety and pollination training will be provided at the start of each shift. Our next dates will be tomorrow Tuesday May 26 (9 am - noon) and Thursday May 28 (9 am - noon, and 1 - 5 pm). More dates and shifts will be added later.
If you have not previously registered to volunteer with GA-TACF, please do so at this site: theamericanchestnutfoundation.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=99170
Once you have registered as a volunteer, please sign up for shifts on May 26 or May 28, please use this link: theamericanchestnutfoundation.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=113887
I hope you will be able to help!
Martin Cipollini, GA-TACF
