The Tennessee Chapter is excited to host our next annual meeting at Tennessee Tech University! This meeting includes opportunities to hear from TACF staff, TN board members, and researchers about all things chestnut including the latest and greatest in chestnut science and outreach.At lunch we will host a chestnut seedling distribution event.
These seedlings will be hybrids derived from TACF's backcross breeding program with varying levels of American heritage and resistance. We will ask for a donation for each set of trees to go to the TN-TACF chapter. Information on how to grow and maintain chestnuts will be provided along with the seedlings. TN-TACF board members will be on hand to help explain our breeding program, and to accept new membership applications ($40 per year).
We will end the meeting with a tour of the longtime chestnut orchard on the campus of Tennessee Tech. Come see chestnut breeding in action!
Registration required: RSVP by 2/26/25
Cost: FREE, but please consider making a donation of $25 to the Tennessee Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation (TN-TACF) if you can to cover lunch (cash or checks). You can also sign up and pay for a new or renewing membership at the meeting.
