ol_ironstomach Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 FYI. The Maryland Chapter of the ACF is holding their second annual fundraising feast on Sunday, Nov 11 at the Comus Inn. ACF seeks to restore the American chestnut tree, which once accounted for one quarter of the eastern forests, through the active development of blight-resistant cultivars, and research into new ways to defeat the chestnut blight fungus. The Maryland chapter has been especially active in recent years - maintaining research seedling plots at several locations and inoculating surviving champion trees with hypovirulence - thanks in large part to a chestnut research program started in the 1960s by Stronghold, the private foundation that owns Sugarloaf mountain. Both the food and participating chefs' time have been donated for this year's all-chestnut menu. Tickets are $100 pp, and requests must be postmarked by today, Nov 2. MDTACF is a 501c3.
