In September 2008, a delegation of 5 members representing The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF), the Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Kentucky (UK) embarked on an exploratory trip to China to observe the three native Chinese chesntut species in the wild.
The trip was sponsored by the USDA's Foreign Agriculture Services (FAS) Scientific Cooperative Exchange Program (SCEP). Travel to China was furnished by TACF and Penn State.
On this pages are several resources which document that trip.
