40th Anniversary Celebration! October 14, 2023

We are excited to announce TACF’s 40th Anniversary celebration on Saturday October 14th in beautiful Lebanon NH. Bring your whole family, and friends interested in joining, to the Salt Hill Pub at the west end of the green, between 10:30am and 2pm.

 

The VT/NH Chapter has secured Salt Hill Pub’s private room for a reception where members will be given tickets for free drinks from the pub and enjoy a buffet of appetizers and salads.

 

A door from the private room leads to a tent with covered tables where you can sit, eat and participate in multiple activities such as:

  • Watch one of two viewings of TACF’s new documentary “Clear Day Thunder” (11:00am or 12:45pm)
  • Test your knowledge playing “Chestnut Jeopardy” online!
  • Share your own chestnut restoration related experiences and events with others.
  • Share your portable items made of chestnut.
  • Count the rings on a “cookie” cut from what was once the State Champion tree in Berlin, VT.

 

Names will be drawn from a hat for door prizes of TACF merchandise at 12:30pm.

 

This is a Chapter paid celebration which is entirely social, honoring TACF’s 40th Anniversary and all its volunteer members who have worked tirelessly on its mission. No field work at this event, and remember, “member” means the whole family! Friends interested in joining on the spot are also welcome and will be afforded drinks and the buffet when they join.

 

Please RSVP moc.liamg@704xofe so we have a count of how many will attend. We need to order the buffet in advance and set up the private room to accommodate what we hope will be a big crowd. Salt Hill Pub can accommodate a large number of people. Hope to see you there on a beautiful fall day, in a beautiful New England town which is centrally located to our membership.

 

Hope to see you there,

Evan Fox, VT/NH Chapter President

We had a great time at our recent spring meeting, part of which included a tour of Meadowview Research Farms for staff and our board of directors. We discussed current projects and the future of the recurrent genomic selection (RGS) program, and highlighted important infrastructure needs that will help support future growth and continued research efforts. Investing in these areas will be key to advancing our mission and strengthening the work being done. We could not have done this alone; thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to such a productive and inspiring day!

Good luck

To have the American chestnut tree back would be so great. I remember them. Yep, I am that old!

Would have loved to seen them when they covered the Eastern Forest , Great news on developing a blight and root rot resistant Chestnut

We are not apart from the Earth—we are a part of it. Not something to own or use, but something we belong to. A living part of us, meant to be loved and cared for as deeply as anything else we hold dear.

“Conservation is getting nowhere because it is incompatible with our Abrahamic concept of land. We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.” ― Aldo Leopold
