The American Chestnut Foundation (ACF) is a non-profit organization focused on the restoration of the once-dominant American chestnut tree in the United States. The organization is dedicated to developing a disease-resistant breed of American chestnut that can thrive in its natural habitat in the eastern United States. The ACF conducts research, breeding programs, and educational initiatives to promote the growth and sustainability of the American chestnut tree population. The Foundation also works on identifying and cataloging existing American chestnut trees, as well as providing resources for planting and maintaining these trees. Through partnerships with governmental agencies, academic institutions, and other non-profit organizations, the ACF aims to reintroduce the American chestnut tree to its historical range and contribute to the overall health and biodiversity of the region.
