The American Chestnut Foundation

The American chestnut was a dominant Eastern hardwood until blight removed it from the canopy in the first half of the twentieth century. The foundation works to return it through scientific breeding, biotechnology, and blight-resistance research, and maintains active state chapters across sixteen eastern states, including Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maine.

This profile was created by AXE USA from the organization's own published information so members can find it. Membership details, programs, and events appear here once the organization claims the profile and provides them.
