- **Event Name**: Annual Chapter Meeting and Seedling Distribution Event
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Tennessee Chapter is excited to host our next annual meeting at Tennessee Tech University! The day will include a chestnut history talk, a discussion of TACF's science program, an overview of Chapter activities, a seedling distribution, and an orchard visit + planting demonstration.

At lunch we will host a chestnut seedling distribution event.

These seedlings will be hybrids derived from TACF's backcross breeding program with varying levels of American heritage and resistance. We will ask for a donation for each set of trees to go to the TN-TACF chapter. Information on how to grow and maintain chestnuts will be provided along with the seedlings. TN-TACF board members will be on hand to help explain our breeding program, and to accept new membership applications ($40 per year).

We will end the meeting with a tour of the longtime chestnut orchard on the campus of Tennessee Tech. Come see chestnut breeding in action!

Registration required: RSVP
