WVII quotes Tan in report on American chestnut planting
WVII (Channel 7) quoted E. Han Tan, an assistant professor of plant genetics at the University of Maine, for a report on his team’s efforts to plant American chestnut trees. The American Chestnut Foundation is addressing a shortage of chestnut trees by teaming up with colleges and universities around the state to help them regrow, according to the report. “A lot of students are excited about forests, ecosystems, conservation, restoration, and it adds a science component to this whole project,” said Tan.
