The next Maryland Chapter general meeting is scheduled for November 17, 2018 at the Patuxent National Wildlife Visitor’s Center from 10:00AM to 2:30PM.
We have speakers this year that you don’t want to miss. Lisa Thomson, TACF President and CEO; Dr. Jared Westbrook, TACF Director of Science; and Tom Saielli, our regional coordinator will speak on “The evolving effort to restore the American chestnut, and how TACF’s chapters help ensure mission success.” There will be time for discussion about the chapter-specific breeding plan. In addition, MD Chapter member Bruce Levine will speak on “What are we breeding for? How plant defenses work.”
All are welcome! Besides the interesting talks, we will have a short business meeting with elections and a light lunch. If you wish to come early, doors open at 9:00AM. There are hiking trails and environmental displays at the center to enjoy as well.
