[MassChestnutOrchards] BC3F3 Planting Location Ideas

[Roy]

Re: [MassChestnutOrchards] BC3F3 Planting Location IdeasThe Glocester RI orchard looks fine as I just checked it an hour ago. The stream behind the orchard is white-water rapids and water level is up 12 inches. 

Two weeks ago I informally asked Bruce Payton, chair of the Glocester Land Trust, about a Restoration - Demonstration BC3F3 orchard. The chair sounded receptive to signing a 99-year lease to the chapter for such an orchard. I would like to give them a few BC3F3 Meadowview nuts to use in a planting at another of their sites.

  RI is having historic flooding and roads, schools, businesses etc. are closing down all over.

  Not much chance of staying dry!  I hope no orchards take a hit - but this should be over relatively quickly, with our sandy soils.

    Hi All,
                       As many of you know, the chapter has 59 BC3F3 nuts from Meadowview that have been donated by members to use to further the work we are doing, I'm looking for ideas of places to plant these nut that can, for example, thank a garden club or other orginazation that has supported us in the past, generate positive ongoing PR for the foundation and our work; i.e, a planting at Old Sturbridge Village, or perhaps creat a new realtionship with a cooperator.  
                       I know many people will want nuts for plantings so let's brainstorm to come up with ways for these nuts to benifit the chapter and our goals. Bring yoiu ideas to the chapter board meeting on the 24th
    (the agenda will go out soon!).
    thanks and stay dry!
    -Jamie
