[MassChestnutOrchards] CT Chapter Annual Meeting in Hartford

[Bill Adamsen]

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!
