[MassChestnutOrchards] TACF-MA Spring Board Meeting Agenda

Wed Apr 21 16:21:15 EDT 2010

Hello - 

Additions to existing agenda items:

1.) Can we modify the B3F3  Sturbridge discussion, to include the other
B3F3 planting proposals?

Looking through emails, I see:

Glocester, RI  Roy
Providence, RI  Yvonne
Probably others?

2.) Possible additional seed orchard locations  can these be added to the
³Seed Orchard Development² agenda item?

South Kingstown Land Trust  Yvonne
Others? 

Thanks.
