Hi All -

 

I'm sure the recent heat has not been lost on you, and it looks like we're
in for a few more very hot days in the Northeast.  While I hope you are
doing your best to stay near the air conditioner or swimming hole, with the
increased heat so increases the need for water in our chestnut orchards.
This is especially true of new plantings and recently inoculated orchards.
You all know your own sites better than anyone and I trust will know if/when
it is time to water the orchard(s) you manage.  

 

If it is time to water your orchard, please remember to do your best to keep
cool while working outside.  Aim for early in the day or late in the
evening, when the temps are a little cooler and the sun less direct.  If
it's a big job that will keep you outside for a long time, pace yourself and
don't hesitate to ask for help or take breaks.  And don't forget to stay
hydrated.  There are some great tips for staying cool at the weather
channel's website: http://preview.weather.com/outlook/wxready/articles/id-68


 

I know this is all common sense stuff, but it's good to remember that heat
like this, especially when it was relatively cool at the beginning of last
week, is tough on the body.

 

Hope you all had a great holiday weekend and are finding ways to beat the
heat!

Kendra, 

Hopefully, you've received by now the leaf/twig sample to identify that's from Silver St. in N. Granby, CT.? Look forward to hearing what you think it is.

Kendra,

Just sent the following email to Mr. Meiklejohn.  I saw the note, but  
didn't know who sent the sample.

Dear Mr. Meiklejohn,

Unfortunately, the tree appears to be a pure Chinese chestnut tree,  
as indicated by:

the shiny tops on ovate leaves;
the fairly small teeth, not forward pointing;
the somewhat light-colored twig;
the short (< 0.5 mm) hairs at right angles to the abaxial midrib;
the long-stalked, capitate glandular hairs on the abaxial midrib;
the small, cigar shaped glandular hairs on the abaxial lamina.

There are quite a few chestnut trees on the mountains, such as above  
Salisbury, in that part of CT.

Keep up the good work!

	Meeting
Message-ID: <AANLkTin4UJOO7acYmAKn7BpVxn53FrsIJZ3WuJd1CJez@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks,

I have some control seedlings that I've been raising this summer, and I'm
thinking that I could bring some of them to our July meeting.

There are pure Americans and pure Chinese.

I think that John Emery needed some pure Americans?  Also SK/MG and Westerly
need some.

If I can get a count on how many each of these orchards needs, I can see how
many we'd have left for others, if any.

I think that September could be a good time to plant these, so if folks take
them now you'd have them ready for autumn planting.
 Summer is really tough on transplants, a lot seem to die without daily
watering in some places.

Thanks!  Yvonne

Our Chinese controls did all right. Our Americans (2 ) did not.

Trying to find something locally available that we can use on the munched
Westerly seedlings...  Other than whipped cream, jimmies, and nuts for the

Both work for awhile. They wear off, must be reapplied after rain and deer get used to anything. Nothing beats a real deer fence.

Hello - does anyone have experience with "Deer Off" as opposed to "Bitrex"?

Trying to find something locally available that we can use on the munched Westerly seedlings...  Other than whipped cream, jimmies, and nuts for the dear deer.

That is normal then you have to reapply, it is only fertilizer and not very strong.

Both work for awhile. They wear off, must be reapplied after rain and deer get used to anything. Nothing beats a real deer fence.

Jamie, 

I will not be able to attend this weekend's MA-TACF mtg.  The New England Forestry Foundation has not yet informed me on whether they've accepted my application for a conservation easement.  If I hear from them before Sunday, I'll update you.  

If there's other info you'd like from me for the mtg., please let me know.

Regards,
John Meiklejohn

Jamie, 

I received notice today from Whit Beale at NEFF that their executive board has approved Sarah's and my application for a conservation easement through NEFF.? Once we return from vacation Whit and I plan to set a time when he and a colleague can come out to the Granville property and begin to discuss the details. 



Since I can't attend Sunday's mtg I wanted to share, at least,?this bit of good news. 



Regards, 

John Meiklejohn

At the chapter board meeting over the weekend, an issue was raised about the
new TACF magazine.   "Journal of The American Chestnut Foundation" is
basically the same title as the past Journal, just in a new format, however
the issue and volume numbers were rest to issue 1, volume 1.  This could get
confusing when referencing a particular volume.  I mentioned this to those
directly involved with producing the magazine and the numbering of the next
issue should pick up where the old format of the Journal left off.  Thanks
for catching that!

Hello,
I lieu of a newsletter I am doing a free trial of "constant contact",an email marketing service.
Hopefully you will be getting an email soon about the Medway Inoculation.
I don't think it will be too expensive ($14 per month for a non profit). We might want to add $5 per month to have access to more picture storage.
You can also archive your news bulletins, so in effect it would become an electronic up to date chronicle of what we are doing.
I think I could easily keep up with one story at a time.  I just spent a few hours setting up the template which I can change at any time.
See what you think, I just sent it out to the orchard list.
Brad

Medway Orchard Inoculations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two Crack Teams Move Through 400 Trees in 3 Hours
On the morning of June 19th, two crack teams of Chestnut inoculators completed the
first round of inoculations at the Medway BC3 orchard, managed by Gary Jacob. The
volunteers were divided up into two groups with specialist for boring holes, applying
inoculum, and taping the sites. One volunteer was in charge of reading the orchard
map to make sure the proper trees were being treated. This process is quite simple
once each member of the team learns his job. We encourage all members to help with
inoculations next season, as our chapter will be inoculating thousands of trees 
over the next few years. These trees have been growing for seven years now and are
of the proper size to challenge with two different strains of the chestnut blight.
As this time, the only way we can tell if the correct number of genes for resistance
were conferred to an individual tree is by seeing how each tree reacts to its blight
wound. Most trees will succumb to this challenge but 8% of our trees will have the
appropriate reaction to be spared and continue in our breeding program. The survivor
trees will create nuts for our seed orchards. With one more selection, we will have
trees with Massachusetts genes and blight resistance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Check our website masschestnut.org and our email newsletters to see how
you can become involved in this exciting stage of our restoration
efforts.

Sincerely,

Bradford Smith
American Chestnut Foundation Massachusetts Chapter

The American Chestnut Foundation is dedicated to the restoration of the American
 Chestnut tree to its former place in the Eastern forests.

Yes, it is easy to do.
Now that I have set up a template it should be very easy.  Even if I weren't able to attend an event a 
quick description and picture will make an easy update.

Medway Orchard Inoculations 








Two Crack Teams Move Through 400 Trees in 3 Hours 

On the morning of June 19th, two crack teams of Chestnut inoculators completed the first round of inoculations at the Medway BC3 orchard, managed by Gary Jacob.  The volunteers were divided up into two groups with specialist for boring holes, applying inoculum, and taping the sites.  One volunteer was in charge of reading the orchard map to make sure the proper trees were being treated.  This process is quite simple once each member of the team learns his job.  We encourage all members to help with inoculations next season, as our chapter will be inoculating thousands of trees over the next few years.  These trees have been growing for seven years now and are of the proper size to challenge with two different strains of the chestnut blight.  As this time, the only way we can tell if the correct number of genes for resistance were conferred to an individual tree is by seeing how each tree reacts to its blight wound.  Most trees will succumb to this challenge but 8% of our trees will have the appropriate reaction to be spared and continue in our breeding program.  The survivor trees will create nuts for our seed orchards.  With one more selection, we will have trees with Massachusetts genes and blight resistance.

NOTICE OF A PUBLIC LISTENING SESSION ON WORKING FORESTS FOR THE PRESIDENT'S AMERICA'S GREAT OUTDOORS INITIATIVE

 

Please join senior representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) for a public listening session on conservation, recreation and reconnecting people to the outdoors. The session will be held Monday, August 9, from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. in Concord, New Hampshire. 

 

This past April at the White House Conference on America's Great Outdoors, President Obama signed a memorandum establishing the America's Great Outdoors Initiative to develop a conservation agenda worthy of the 21st century and to reconnect Americans with our great outdoors.  The President understands that protecting and restoring the lands and waters that we love and reconnecting people to the outdoors must happen at the local level.  

 

Therefore, President Obama directed the principal leaders of the America's Great Outdoors Initiative to travel across the country to listen and learn from people directly involved in finding grassroots solutions to conserving our lands and waters and reconnecting Americans to the outdoors.  The President indicated that the sessions should engage the full range of interested groups, including tribal leaders, farmers and ranchers, sportsmen, community park groups, foresters, youth groups, businesspeople, educators, state and local governments, and recreation and conservation groups.  

 

Private working forests play a critical role in providing for green markets, rural economic development, habitat for animals and birds, places where people go for refuge and wonder, and responding to climate change.  This public listening session and discussion is an opportunity for leaders of the America's Great Outdoors Initiative to hear from you about the challenges and opportunities facing working forests on private lands and about solutions for building a21st-century private working forest land conservation and recreation agenda and for reconnecting people with the outdoors.   Here are the details:
