[MassChestnutOrchards] Fw: Restoration plan conference call

[James C. Wood]

Hello Jamie and fellow members of Mass TACF
Comments re BC3F3 distribution
First I believe TACF members should be offered seeds first to plant before State or Federal lands/parks.
Whatever, the grants received from the States/Federal sources they pail before the contributions and hands on efforts of long serving TACF membership.

Second, the recent Bark article asking for an additional $300.00 to receive that for which the membership at large has endeavored to achieve is misplaced fundraising. Asking for more than the cost of shipping and handling starts us on a path which should be avoided. Shall we only provide  to the highest bidder?

  Here are Essie's notes and the Q&A created from the call in December. The Q&A is in a .docx file; if you are running windows XP or earlier you may need an update to open the new file type.
