The Georgia Chapter of the
American Chestnut Foundation has had a very busy first full year. We
thought it would be helpful for our members to have a chronology of
events to appreciate our progress. A big thanks to the dedicated
members who helped make this a very successful first year. A special
thanks goes out to Dr. J. Hill Craddock and his student assistants,
who’s expertise and tutelage was present at virtually every
significant event.
