American Chestnuts Are Released on Glassy Mountain

Tallulah Ranger District – Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests
and the
American Chestnut Foundation

On August 10, 2005, volunteers from the American Chestnut Foundation and Forest Service personnel trimmed back shading vegetation from American chestnut sprouts on Glassy Mountain, Georgia. 

Efforts were rained out at about 2 PM, but an excellent start was made toward day lighting approximately 200 chestnut trees. Thanks to volunteer Jack Johnston and TACF interns Simon Goldberg and Austin Wagner.

 Plans are to continue work on this site and others in September.
