Celebrate Earth and Arbor Days by helping The American Chestnut Foundation plant an orchard in Guilford, CT. Our goal is to produce a blight resistant American Chestnut tree that will thrive in Connecticut. We're doing this using a traditional plant breeding and selection approach. In celebration of Earth Day, we plan to build a fence around the orchard on Saturday April 19th following weekend on Saturday April 26th, in celebration of Arbor Day, we will complete the fence, layout the orchard and plant. Plan to bring work clothes and a smile!
