KY-TACF Annual Meeting, 2015

The Kentucky State Chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation will be holding their annual meeting on August 15, 2015, at the Pine Mountain State Resort Park.  Make your plans to attend, as this is open to both members and non-members!

There will be a silent auction taking place as a fundraiser for the chapter, as well as an array of presentations concerning what is going on with the American chestnut in Kentucky at this time!

As additional information becomes available, I will update this posting to include it.

UPDATE:  The meeting will be taking place in the Ray Harm Room, beginning at 9:30 AM (Eastern Time) and should finish up around 3:30 PM.  Agenda can be found below.

Hope to see you there!

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.
