Check out this reel by the Seed Crown Company! They are testing whether Seed Crown shelters can help with direct seeding chestnuts in a forest setting.

I put another 200 chestnut trees in the beautiful Kentucky soil, irrigated with mountain spring water, prayed for the success of the trees. My Lord provided precipitation and humidity to a perfect 86% during the planting. Two minor equipment failures (operator malfunction). Tonight, will bath in the holy water provided by Him and rejoice in winning in his name.

June is packed with activities! There are numerous provisional field work projects that haven’t yet been added to the Event Calendar. If you’re interested in participating in your Chapter's planting, pollination, and various field tasks, please contact them to express your enthusiasm. Additionally, consider subscribing to their newsletter, which regularly provides updates on upcoming events.
