We will have a silent auction which will include
various items with many relating to the American chestnut. Included in the
auction are two Restoration Chestnut Trees.
Note: We planned to have a field trip to Hensley
Settlement in cooperation with the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park but
unfortunately the road washed out during the heavy July rains and is closed for
the rest of the year. We are looking for other field trip possibilities and if
we successful we will tighten up the schedule to allow for the field trip.
