[MassChestnutOrchards] TACF-MA Spring Board Meeting - Items Needed

Hi -

I¹d like to get some items this Saturday to help some RI orchard needs.

1.)  Hardware cloth ­ Kathy has two rolls; is there more available?
Westerly & South Kingstown need enough total for about 300 trees or so.  Are
two rolls enough for that?
(p.s. Kathy can we carpool and I¹ll get yours then?  I¹ll be coming up 146.)

2.)  ³Milk cartons² - I need about 100 more or so to pot up nuts.  (Jamie?)
I have enough plastic holders.

Thanks - Yvonne
