The American Chestnut Cooperators' Foundation

The American Chestnut Cooperators' Foundation (ACCF) is an organization dedicated to restoring the American chestnut tree, which was once a dominant species in eastern U.S. forests but nearly vanished due to a devastating blight. The foundation supports research and conservation efforts, including breeding and planting disease-resistant chestnut trees. By collaborating with scientists, landowners, and volunteers, the ACCF aims to reintroduce this vital tree species to its natural habitat, promoting biodiversity and revitalizing ecosystems impacted by its loss. Their efforts contribute to environmental health and preserve an important part of America's natural heritage.
