American Chestnut Foundation
The American Chestnut Foundation, based in Charlottesville, VA, is dedicated to the restoration of the American chestnut tree, which was once a dominant species in the eastern forests of the United States. Through innovative science, strategic partnerships, and educational initiatives, the foundation works towards breeding blight-resistant chestnut trees to reintroduce this iconic species to its native habitat.
With research farms in Meadowview, VA, and regional offices across the country, including in New England, North Central, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern regions, the foundation engages in tree history studies, biotechnology, biocontrol resources, and educational programs to support the revival of the American chestnut tree. By fostering community involvement and promoting conservation efforts, The American Chestnut Foundation aims to preserve the ecological and cultural significance of this once-thriving tree species.
