Since 2009, TACF has been working on designing and developing an on-line, relational database that can be used by its stakeholders to track all aspects of its program dedicated to restoring the American chestnut tree.
In 2011, several TACF Staff and Volunteers met on a weekly basis with developers to create this product. As of the beginning of 2015, development is ongoing with Nitid Bit.
Training for the TACF Trees Database (dentataBase) commenced in 2013 for interested TACF partners and volunteers. As of 2014, TACF collects all new breeding data using this new on-line tool and continues to port historic data as time and resources allow.
Anyone interested in learning more about the database may contact Sara Fitzsimmon for more information, and to request an account on the practice/staging server.
