Here's and article on the American Chestnut from today's Danville, Va local newspaper.
Hopefully, this cross pollination program will yield some great results.

That would be cool. It's sad to run across a rotted chestnut stump that thrown off 3 or 4 saplings that have all died back to the root because of the blight.

On my last backpacking trip(July 21-30), I ran into Hill Craddock of UTC and others doing some chestunut work in the Citico/Slickrock wilderness. A friendly bunch and they lugged a 30 foot ladder into the woods.
