Upcoming Free American Chestnut Seed Offer
Spring is close which means that the VT/NH Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation will once again offer free American chestnut seeds to Chapter members. Details will be sent later. If you have related questions at this time, please contact Dan Jones at: moc.nsm@senoj_b_leinad
If you received nuts from this distribution program in past years, I would like to hear of your experiences, both good and bad. Responding is optional but the Chapter would like to hear whether your nuts germinated and whether they survived insects, rodents, deer, foul weather, and so forth. The Chapter is also interested if you used various forms of protection or applied creative methods to nurture the trees. Your experiences may help us to make this nut distribution program a greater success in the future.”
Written planting instructions will be sent with your package. You can also view a chestnut seed planting instructional video by Board Member Doug McLane by clicking the following link:

If you will be requesting nuts in 2025, please be sure to include a mailing address because they are sent via U.S. mail.
Also, I want to remind you that the VT/NH Chapter Annual Meeting will be held at the Cramer Art Center in Randolph, VT on May 17.
Thank for your interest in, and support for, chestnut restoration,
Dan Jones, Board Member
