A strategic plan may seem like a dense document to read through, but
it reflects broader board decisions about where to start and how to
implement the core programs needed to restore the American chestnut.
The blueprint will be modified and changed yearly reflecting our growth
and aspirations. Join us and help shape the future.

Strategic Plan of MA Chapter of TACF --- 1/2002, Revised
March 18th
Introduction:
The Strategic Plan for the Massachusetts Chapter of The American Chestnut
Foundation is an extension and complement to both the national strategic
plan of TACF and the statement of Mission in the Massachusetts Charter.
Every member of The American Chestnut Foundation is committed to the
mission of our organization: to restore the tree to its native forests
through breeding and research. The purpose of the Strategic Plan is
to translate the general goals of TACF into a specific action plan and
to establish a time line for completion by creating a detailed list
of the tasks needed to achieve all the goals.
Our mission with regard to American chestnut restoration can be described
in terms of several primary program goals:
A. Protect, conserve, preserve, and propagate trees from diverse remaining
native Massachusetts American chestnut populations in the state.
B. Make blight-resistant American chestnuts derived from Massachusetts
genetic stocks available to the people of Massachusetts.
C. Establish self-propagating blight-resistant forest clusters or groves
of Massachusetts derived American chestnuts within selected forest study
sites in cooperation with Massachusetts private and public forest landholders.
D. Restore American chestnuts to a place of ecological and economic
importance and self-sustainability throughout the forests in Massachusetts.
E. Build an organizational structure to support a long-range vision
and commitment to sustained effort over 30 years.
