Louisville Branch Formation

Be sure and look at all of the postings at http://louisvillechestnut.blogspot.com/.

A new "branch" is being formed in the Louisville area of The American Chestnut Foundation.  A branch is part of the state chapter, but provides the opportunity for like-minded folks in a certain location (such as Louisville) to gather on a regular basis, work together for spreading the word about the American chestnut tree and efforts to bring them back and to plant, tend, manage and grow chestnut trees in the Louisville Area!

The first meeting will take place on March 30 at 9:30 AM at the Louisville Nature Center.  The meeting should be over at noon or 12:30.  Following the meeting, a display planting of American chestnut trees or nuts will be completed at the Louisville Zoo near the butterfly garden.  The butterfly garden is NOT inside the zoo, but is off of the lower parking lot that serves as bus parking.

While at the Nature Center, you can view the display planting of 4 Restoration Chestnut 1.0 trees that was completed last fall.

Everyone is welcome to attend either the meeting, the planting or both.  Please email Keith at kchacha@yahoo.com for more information.  Be sure to bring your friends and neighbors!
