Though their efforts are specifically very different, they are both working to preserve irreplaceable resources that we will need for our global eco-system to stay healthy and vital for centuries to come. EcologyFund is funding the expansion of the Forsinard blanket bog preserve in order to protect and rejuvenate a very rare habitat that is important to several UK bird populations. Active blanket bog is a globally rare habitat for which the UK holds an international responsibility. About the American Chestnut Foundation To make the return of the majestic American chestnut a reality, a group of prominent scientists established The American Chestnut Foundation in 1983 as a non-profit organization. The mission is to restore the American chestnut as an integral part of the eastern forest ecosystem.
Many animals use the trees as a source of food and shelter.
