The mission of The American Chestnut Foundation is to return the iconic American chestnut tree (Castanea dentata) to its native range. Using a full toolbox of approaches, our overall goal is to restore an entire forest ecosystem. In the process, TACF also hopes to create a template for restoration of other tree and plant species threatened by non-native pests and pathogens.
Unlike other environmental organizations, our mission is not about preventing environmental loss or preserving what we already have. The concept of our mission is much bolder and more powerful. It’s about the restoration of an entire ecosystem, and leaving our world a better place than we found it.
