"Dedicated to the Restoration of American Chestnuts"

The American Chestnut Cooperators' Foundation is a nonprofit scientific and educational  foundation dedicated to restoring the American Chestnut Tree to its former place in our Eastern hardwood forests. Priorities include the development of blight-resistant all-American chestnuts and economical biological control measures against chestnut blight in the forest environment. 

In the first 40 years of the 20th century, blight destroyed 3.5 billion American chestnut trees. What had been the most important tree in our Eastern forest was reduced to insignificance. No comparable devastation of a species exists in recorded history.

Thank you for stopping by! 


"It is not beyond the grasp of science to restore the American chestnut to economic importance. It could be accomplished within the next 50 years."-- Prof. Gary Griffin, Virginia Tech 1997
