2002 Annual Meeting of the New
York State Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation Chestnut Inn, Oquaga Lake The New
York Chapter of the American Chestnut Society is devoted to reintroducing the
American Chestnut into our forests. This tree was largely killed off by a
blight in the 1930's, but breeding experiments and genetic modifications may
well be able to produce a tree identical with this tall timber tree with
sweet nuts. Anyone interested in trees, forests, nature and the environment
can join this effort, which involved everyone in the process of growing young
trees for this grand project. If you are interested in joining, contact Mr. Herbert
Darling, Herbert F. Darling, President, Darling Construction
