Members and friends of South Kingstown Land Trust were invited to attend the 14th Annual Meeting of the MA/RI chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation. The event took place here in South Kingstown on Saturday, November 16th, at the SKLT Barn. Presentations included: “Chestnut 101: A Quick Start Guide to Chestnut Restoration,” “National Meeting Update,” and “MA/RI & NE Chapter Updates.”
The keynote speaker Dr. Leila Pinchot, TACF’s former NE Regional Coordinator, presented “Forest Planting and Reintroduction of the Chestnut.” Attendees enjoyed a delicious chestnut potluck luncheon, and following the program, a trip to SKLT’s chestnut seed orchard.
