The American Chestnut Foundation
The American chestnut once ruled our eastern forests for centuries, but a killer blight made up of microscopic spores needed only 50 years to wipe the giant from the face of North America. But we still have buildings made from it, and we still have people pulling for it. Our organization wants to bring it back from memory and make the chestnut stand tall again. With your help, the Appalachia mountains may yet boast of groves of giant American chestnut trees, of forests festooned with chestnut flowers, of open fires licking at chestnuts. Your support will ensure future generations will see chestnuts in their lifetime.
