[pct-l] This is Not a Trail Related Issue But Should Be

["Doug Banks" <db928855@mindspring.com>]

At one time the Appalachian Mountain Chain, extending even beyond to Florida and Illinois, every fourth tree was an American Chestnut.  Unfortunally no more as a blight has eliminated the chestnut.  We are trying to bring the Chestnut back.  I urge each and every one to contact the American Chestnut Foundation and contribute/purchse seeds/seedlings and hopefully bring back the American Chestnut.

 

I don't remember the exact address but using the search type in American Chestnut Foundation and you will find the address needed.  Not available in three states.

 

Membership is only $40.00 per year and 20 seeds are $50.00.  These trees will probably will die if planted in the normal growing area.  However some may survive at least to produce new trees or seeds.

I'm taking a chance and have ordered 80 Chestnut seeds to plant in Georgia.

 

Give this tree a chance at survival.
