SUMMARY:Are you interested in restoring American Chestnuts?
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in restoring American Chestnuts? \nAre you interested in helping to restore the American Chestnut in Grayson County? Come to an information meeting March 21 from 1-2:20 pm at the 1908 Courthouse Baldwin Auditorium. \nClint Morse\, citizen scientist has been working with the American Chestnut Foundation and Matthews Forest on this project.  How can you help?  Clint will discuss lots of ways for all ages and skill levels. \nThis includes collecting pollen and nuts\, grafting\, thinning existing trees\, and continuing to locate and mark surviving chestnuts in the woods in and around Grayson County.  In addition\, there are some nuts available for a few people to join the raised bed project that started last year.  And we’ll continue testing and monitoring those plantings. \nThis will be a multi-year project and will require a lot of volunteers.  I hope you will join us and help to support this exciting work. \nOther workshops are still in the planning stages. Check the events page on the GLC website\, graysonlandcare.org and the facebook page\, https://www.facebook.com/graysonlandcare/ for full details and updates. Or contact Michelle Pridgen at director@graysonlandcare  for more information.
