West Virginia Chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation

WV - TACF Spring Meeting

The American chestnut was once an ecologically and economically important tree of the Appalachian forests here where we live.  In the early 1900’s, an imported blight fungus spread rapidly and killed most of the trees, but some survive and provide hope for the future.

Come to the spring meeting of the West Virginia chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation and learn about the story of the American chestnut and our efforts to restore this iconic tree to our forests.

The meeting is at the Mineral County Technical Center located at 981 Harley O Staggers Drive in Keyser, West Virginia.  Registration is not required.  For more information email Bernie Coyle at bfcoyle@hotmail.com
