Big news on the Chestnut Project crowdfunding: we hit 50% percent funding this morning! Thanks to all of you and everyone who has supported the project. This is due to your generosity and hard work. Dr. Powell and Dr. Maynard asked us to pass on their thanks for this great success: Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this fundraising campaign so far. We passed 50% of our goal in the first week of our 4-week campaign – and it’s all because of you! Now we can begin to produce many of these blight-resistant American chestnut trees. We want to share a very special video with you that highlights our blight-resistant trees in action. Be sure to turn your sound on, the music says it all! esf.edu/chestnut/timelapse.htm We are also delighted to announce that John Dougherty, a Board member for the New York State Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation and their volunteer Science and Regulatory Director, has offered a personal challenge donation to encourage others to join us on our Ten Thousand Chestnut Challenge. Thanks to everyone, and please continue to help us by spreading the word to all your friends and colleagues via social media sharing, email, or however you are inspired… Bill Powell and Chuck Maynard A special Thank You to John Dougherty and the New York chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation, for their years of dedicated support of the American Chestnut Research & Restoration Project!
