SUMMARY:CT Flower and Garden Show
DESCRIPTION:The CT Chapter will be at the 41st Annual Connecticut Flower and Garden Show “Gateway to Springtime\,” in the Education Division of the Federated Garden Clubs of CT. \nRestoring the American Chestnut to the Connecticut Forests \nThe American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) is committed to restoring the American chestnut tree to its native range (200 million acres of eastern woodlands). Unlike other environmental organizations\, TACF’s mission is not about preventing environmental loss or preserving what we already have. The loss already occurred and TACF is trying to restore an entire ecosystem. Our goal is to create a template for the restoration of other chestnut tree species throughout the world. Members of the TACF Connecticut Chapter will be at the Flower & Garden Show to answer all your chestnut-related questions

DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Rowan Jacobsen presented by the Yale Quantum Institute on nature and bioengineering on Thursday\, September 5th at 7:30 PM.  Rowan published an in depth article about the pros and cons of using bioengineering to restore the American chestnut in Pacific Standard (article can be read here: https://psmag.com/ideas/most-controversial-tree-in-the-world-gmo-genetic-engineering? ).  The lecture will include bioengineering topics in addition to the American chestnut but we thought it would be of interest to many of our members.  Tickets are free and can be ordered here:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/yqi-nontechnical-talk-rowan-jacobsen-the-nature-of-nature-tickets-69228742031 \nParking available in all Yale lots after 4PM.  Closest is Lot 51 on Temple Street. \nhttps://your.yale.edu/work-yale/campus-services/parking-and-transit/parking/parking-map
