American Chestnut Tree Planting in the Park:

                  The American Chestnut Tree, once a thriving native species, is now facing extinction because it is prone to disease. Our Park has planted thirty (30) pure American Chestnut seedlings. As these seedlings mature, the Society will come to our Park and collect pollen and nuts from the trees. The collected pollen and nuts will be used at one of the Society's orchards to back-cross with hybrids to produce a disease-resistant American Chestnut tree.
