SUMMARY:CT Chapter Wigwam Brook Chestnut Orchard Dedication
DESCRIPTION:As a member of the CT Chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation and the Litchfield Hills Audubon Society\, John C. Baker spearheaded efforts to plant the Backcross Orchard at the Wigwam Brook Wildlife Sanctuary.  He helped pollinate local American chestnuts with backcrossed pollen from TACF’s Meadowview Research Farm to obtain the nuts that would fill the orchard.  He planned\, planted and cared for the trees in this orchard from its beginning in 2010 until his passing in September of 2024. John was a dedicated board member of the CT chapter for 15 years and served as the chairman of the Nominations Committee.  We will be naiming the chestnut orchard in John’s honor at a dedication Ceremony with the Litchfield Hills Audubon Society and plant a few more chestnuts to carry on the legacy that John created.

SUMMARY:CT-TACF Volunteer opportunity at Litchfield Hills Orchard
DESCRIPTION:This Thursday\, June 20th  we will be inoculating the Litchfield Hills orchard with two strains of the blight fungus to determine each tree’s tolerance to chestnut blight.  We could use a few volunteers to help with the inoculation process.  The work will involve bending and kneeling to access the trunks of the trees\, making a small hole in the bark\, applying the fungus culture media and covering the inoculation site.  Heavy rain will postpone the event but showers or light rain will not.  Bring work gloves and clothing suitable for gardening work.  Gardening knee pads may be helpful as well.  For questions or other information contact Jack Swatt at 203-592-4686. \nDATE: Thursday\, June 20th \nTIME: 12:00 NOON \nLOCATION: Litchfield Hills Audubon’s Wigwam Brook Sanctuary is located on the corner of Rt. 254 and Lipeika Rd.  Parking is in the lot off Lipeika Rd. \nDIRECTIONS: \nFrom Route 8 Northbound\, take Exit 38 and turn left onto Waterbury Rd.  Continue straight onto S.
