Numerous environmental organizations representing millions of members have signed on in opposition to the proposal to spread genetically engineered chestnut trees into the wild. One organization is Dogwood Alliance, which works to protect southern forests across 14 states.  The alliance opposes genetically engineered trees and corporate forest plantations as threats to biodiversity and climate. 

The plan to release genetically engineered Chestnut trees into the wild is opposed by many environmental groups, including the Indigenous Environmental Network.  BJ McManama of the IEN talks about indigenous opposition to the plan.
