Castanea dentata

I know i’ll live to see these get bigger than 20 dbh in my lifetime and that makes me smile knowing that i’ve helped do research on these.

For any botanist out there who is trying to work on something cool, working with TACF was one of my favorite internships. I worked with the South Carolina chapter doing an internship and I think you should help while the science is good.

There is also jobs out there that are through the ACF website and not TACF state chapter specific. https://acf.org/employment/
