The American Chestnut Foundation is a nonprofit focused on conservation, education, and scientific work aimed at restoring the American chestnut to its native range. It combines traditional breeding with genomics to develop disease-resistant trees and rebuild self-sustaining populations across the eastern United States. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, TACF is governed by an eighteen-member board and operates through sixteen state chapters with a workforce of more than twenty. Founded in 1983, TACF coordinates its work across a region that stretches from Vermont to North Carolina. The organization emphasizes a diverse and inclusive workplace and integrates DEIJ principles into its culture as it pursues science-based decisions, integrity, innovation, and collaboration. In 2025, TACF partnered with the New York Restoration Project to distribute American chestnut saplings across New York City's five boroughs, illustrating ongoing restoration activities beyond its core breeding program.
