[MassChestnutOrchards] Fw: Totman property orchard FW: Thanks for agreat day

[John Meiklejohn]

Jamie, the Totman orchard is the one that Susan and Gerry Cormier oversaw and replanted.  Charlotte and several of us took a look at it this past fall.  We did a bit of maintenance and took fall measurements.  However, it is in need of further attention to avoid losing more of the trees.  It would be wise to organize a Spring work crew to do some long overdue maintenance.  I'd make time if others are interested.

          Hi Jamie, 

          I received this email from an interested DCR District Manager from the Berkshires after I had taken the group for a walk in the park and talked about our hopes for a chestnut seed production orchard and a beautifully designed chestnut arboretum.

          I told him we would forward the email and get back to him.  Would one of our western Mass board members know this orchard?

          Dennis:

          Sorry I don't know much about the Totman property/chestnut project.  If you have a contact in the area, I'm sure they have some information.  I'll continue looking into the South River property and if you get any good info, please let me know.

          Thanks again,
