Here is a website for the Canadian Chestnut Council that mentions the AC's s=
tatus in NS
http://www.canadianchestnutcouncil.ca/index.cfm?page=3DNovaScotia

I see they have a Facebook page which would be an easy way to contact them. R=
ural Delivery or Atlantic Forestry also had an article on these trees focuss=
ing on the Maritimes but I cannot find a link to it. You might track it down=
 on their website http://www.rurallife.ca/ or contact them to get it.=20

Hope this helps.=20
