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!<br>
<br>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 <a href="http://ctacf.org/">at the Chapter's web-site</a> or on the <a href="http://ctacf.org/enclosures/CTTACF_AnnualMtgTrinity_6Mar2010.pdf">printable brochure</a>.

identification, 2 hours of CT Forestry\Arborist CEUs for those that
