Discover the inspiring efforts to restore this ecologically and economically significant tree species, the American Chestnut. Unfortunately, the Chestnut was decimated by Cryphonectria parasitica in the late 1800s, rendering it functionally extinct.

Have you ever seen a chestnut rowing down the river? Well, now's your chance, as Florian Carle, CT Chapter Secretary, spent last fall rowing in regattas all around the Northeast in a boat decorated with our friend Charlie Chestnut!

You can read Florian's story online in JL Athletics jlathletics.com/blogs/the-launch/two-passions-on-a-single-charlie-the-rowing-chestnut

If you're a member of TACF, you'll get to read a similar story and enjoy all of the incredible photos of this chestnut rowing triumph in the winter edition of our magazine.

Thanks, Florian! ... See MoreSee Less
