[MassChestnutOrchards] Globe article on clear cutting in MA

[Gary Jacob]

Interesting article.  It is too bad that a state like Massachusetts should
be setting such a bad example.  I think it is important, however, that we
not take a position or express any official opinions concerning this issue.

 

What we should do is to begin thinking about different planting plans we
would use, for future American chestnuts, depending on whatever harvesting
situation we may find.

Hi All,

  Here is an article in the Globe I found this morning about clear cutting
in MA. It has a quote from Bruce Spencer.

I would like to here more about this issue and how it might affect future
restoration plantings at Quabbin  and elsewhere. 

Does this effect any plans for our seed orchard  at Moore State Park?

Perhaps Bruce , Dennis or Lois  would be interested in talking on this
subject at the April Meeting?

Food for thought,

-Jamie
