Adopt A Tree
Adopt one of the 20 semi blight-resistant American chestnut trees that will be planted in the spring of 2010 at the Peter Burr House. This will be a new Demonstration Project with an anticipated result of producing several surviving and productive American chestnut trees for future programming purposes. Adoption will entitle you to name your tree. The adoption fee of $100 will help defray the costs needed for protecting and caring for the tree and for the needed record-keeping necessary for being allowed to plant these test trees.
