NOTES

SUNY ESF is spearheading an effort to restore the American Chestnut. The Bartlett Arboretum and Gardens will collaborate in this effort through plantings of wild and transgenic Chestnuts trees on-site.  Planting of wild chestnuts began in Fall 2022 and will continue into Spring 2023.  Transgenic chestnuts will follow in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024.  Further educational offerings will be offered in conjunction with plantings and growth cycles of the Chestnut trees.
