The growing season is now well underway at TACF's Meadowview Research Farms! Sown in January and February of this year, thousands of young chestnut seedlings are thriving in our greenhouse, where they will remain for a few more weeks before transitioning outdoors. Starting this month and continuing through the summer, we will be sampling nearly three thousand of them at Meadowview alone, and many more across the range, for genomic evaluation and subsequent assignment to different experiments and plantings. Have you planted your chestnut seeds indoors or outdoors already this year?

Thank you so much for embracing this fairytale which teaches young readers a little about the blight and what happened to the American chestnut trees in a light and easy way. My primary objective was to bring an awareness of what happened to the American chestnut trees and offer hope of restoration to young readers. I also wanted to remember my late father (Bill Bear) who tried to do his part with restoring chestnuts trees. I did a great deal of research, and I learned a lot during the process of writing this book, but I still have much more knowledge to gain. Our family supports the mission that, one day, the American chestnut trees can once again regain prominence. We are one family of many who support the efforts of TACF.
Join us on Friday, April 18, 2025, from 11:30AM – 1:00PM (EPT), for the next LIVE Chestnut Chat.
