Took a break from Bow Hunting to visit the Chestnut
Festival in Cadillac, MI this past weekend. (See their
links in our Link Folder). It was a great turn out
with a lot of recipes, products, and and plenty of
Chestnut trees available for planting from the
American Chestnut Council (7192 East 34 Road,
Cadillac, MI 49601 #231-775-7681 ext. 3 ) & had a
nice chat with Tom Williams (Conservation District
Forester). The American Chestnut Council is a
non-profit 501(c) (3) organization so please consider
joining them for next year. Tax-deductable dues are
only $15 (or $5. for students, - what a great gift
for the kids)!
Anyway, - planted over 60 more Chestnut trees on our
land near Copemish, MI and was surprised to find some
of our previously planted Chestnut trees were well
over my head now. The deer still seem to be enjoying
them more than we are at this point but they are
holding up very well. I added pictures in the Northern
Michigan Photo Folder.
