Review for Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation, University Park, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

A wonderful organization run primarily by some of the most dedicated and fascinating volunteers one will ever meet. It can be difficult to promote a species without fur, that doesn't move, and can't "put on a show". Still, the charismatic story of the chestnut provides an excellent opportunity to introduce other issue of sustainable forestry and other practices. Generally, as long as a one-on-one personal contact can be made w/ prospective volunteers and members, they quickly become a member of a much larger family interested in several other greater sustainability concerns.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

working with the people. People and their enthusiasm and creativity are what drives this organization.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
