Guy,
 
I do not think he is asking for resistant nuts, just original pure Americans.

I do not see any good coming from providing nuts to this person, 

only bad press and bad feeling from members who are willing to wait and support the organization

Jamie and Kathy:

We don't show a Cliff Olson that is or ever has been a member of TACF from the state of CT.
It would be interesting to get a better understanding of what he is doing, and intends to do with the opa materials.
I will contact him off-line.

The following is a rather unusual request address to our chapter.  Wondered if you are familiar with this person.

Hello Ms. Desjardin,



My name is Clifford Olson. I am a American Chestnut enthusiast and breeder from Connecticut and am interested in obtaining pure American Chestnut seeds from your state. I have an orchard that currently has many American trees from Virginia in it and as spring is just around the corner, I am hoping to greatly expand it soon with trees from many other states as well. My goal is to obtain seeds/seedlings from as many mother trees as possible from every state so that I can preserve the gene pool for the time being and eventually repopulate the surrounding area. Collecting pure American Chestnut trees is a true passion of mine and I have been doubling my recent efforts to obtain seeds from as many surviving American Chestnut trees as I can. Unfortunately getting to each state in the original range and searching about for the rare surviving mother trees is a daunting task, although a welcome one. I do not know if you have any pure American Chestnut seeds available that you are willing to part with or not, but I would be DELIGHTED to have some if they are available. I can use as many as you are willing to give. They would be well watered, protected, and taken care of. I can send you some money. If none are available, I will be disappointed but understand completely! Pure American Chestnuts from local trees are a rare and beautiful thing. Thank you for your time! I look forward to hearing from you!

Cliff Olson

Perhaps individuals can provide nuts, rather than the chapter ? any MA/RI
pure Americans aren?t TACF work anyhow.

Subject: [MassChestnutOrchards] Mark Your Calendar! New England Regional
	TACF Meeting - March 20
Message-ID: <023801caafec$ef0ade50$cd209af0$@org>

I hope you can join us for a New England Regional TACF meeting on Saturday,
March 20th.  I heard from many of you that you would welcome improved
communication between your neighboring chapters and this meeting should be a
great opportunity to share ideas and experiences.  I've put together a draft
agenda (below) based on input from some of you, but welcome any comments or
requests for additional topics.  

 

Please RSVP to me (Kendra at acf.org) if you plan to attend, as I will be
putting some materials together for attendees to look over before the
meeting.  And please pass this invite along to others I may have missed.
This meeting is open to all, however I don't anticipate spending too much
time on introductory material.  It would be great to have a few board
members and orchard managers from each chapter in attendance.  I do hope the
meeting will be a forum for sharing experience, which could be very useful
to newcomers, and I encourage anyone interested to join us.  I hope to see
you there!

 

New England Regional Meeting

Urban Forestry Center

45 Elwyn Road

Portsmouth, NH 03801

 

Saturday, March 20, 2010

9:30 - 4:00

 

Please bring a bag lunch.  Snacks to share are always welcome!

 

Draft Agenda Topics:

 

New England Chestnut Grower's Guide - Use existing resources to pull
together a grower's guide that covers the types of plantings and management
applicable to the NE chapters (2 hours, maybe more)

 

Restoration Branches - Bryan Burhans will be joining us to describe these in
more detail and answer your questions (1 hour)

 

Chapter Strategic Planning - strategies for guiding your local chapter
(30-45 mins)

 

Trees Database - update on the TACF on-line database project and some issues
for the chapters to start thinking about (30-45 mins)

 

Seed Orchards - a next step for breeding in New England (30-45 mins)

 

This is only a draft agenda.  Please send me any additional items you'd like
to discuss.  This meeting is a chance to learn how others have approached
many of the same issues facing your chapter so if you'd like to hear from
the other chapters on a particular issue, this is your chance.  I'll do my
best to incorporate any suggestions into a final agenda.

 

Best -

 

Kendra

Message-ID: <3ea3fdf71002260815j241c5496k2ffef8246f354a9d@mail.gmail.com>

Please spread the word that the CT Chapter of The American Chestnut
Foundation (TACF) will hold our annual meeting in partnership with Trinity
College in Hartford on Saturday March 6th.  We would love to see you there!

The meeting is free and open to all, however an RSVP is requested for
planning purposes. The meeting includes presentations by USFS Molecular
Geneticist Dr. Tom Kubisiak, and entomologist Dr. Lynne Rieske-Kinney of the
Univ. of Kentucky. In addition, TACF President Bryan Burhans will attend to
speak about TACF's ambitious new restoration plans. In all, the meeting will
provide a great snap-shot of where we are, in terms of American chestnut
restoration, and where we are going. Plus, this will be a great venue to
meet local TACF members who are actively participating in this effort and
learn how to get involved! More details are found at the Chapter's
web-site<http://ctacf.org/>or on the printable
brochure <http://ctacf.org/enclosures/CTTACF_AnnualMtgTrinity_6Mar2010.pdf>.


The program includes the lectures, sessions on chestnut identification, 2
hours of CT Forestry\Arborist CEUs for those that qualify, lunch, and a tour
of the Watkinson Library special rare-book collection at Trinity ... with a
special exhibit produced especially for this event. RSVP Kendra Gurney at
802.951.6771 x1350 or via e-mail at kendra at acf.org.

Thanks!
