Help Save the American Chestnut Tree

The mission of The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) is to return the iconic American chestnut tree (Castanea dentata) to its native range. Using a full toolbox of approaches, our overall goal is to restore an entire forest ecosystem. In the process, TACF hopes to create a template for the restoration of other tree and plant species threatened by non-native pests and pathogens.
