Through early 2011, TACF held a set of four facilitated workshops that sought to collect and combine information into a working document that will assist in the restoration of the American chestnut. Those workshops were only one part of a four-track plan that TACF will use to create and administer the restoration plan. Follow-up tracks were held in Breeding and Genetics, Development and Business, and Reintroduction and Ecology. The background and notes from all of those meetings may be found below.
We Want Your Input!
The notes from the four regional restoration meetings are currently available below and we want your comment.
