No, I don't know them since I live on the West Coast and the various
heirloom apple projects are different in each area. One of the nurseries
near me 
http://www.treesofantiquity.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1  does a
good job making sure at least some of the older apples still exist (155
kinds). There are various efforts to save interesting local fruit and oil
trees- avocados, etc. 

 -- I assume there are some groups in various regions of Canada, in the
center of the US --and I think Oregon has a project----and I know there are
some in the south.

 The Fedo project looks good-- as does the John Buncker's work. I am glad
folks are out there working to save this critical fruit (and hopefully a
goodly number are working hard to save the central Asian forest
mother-of-all apples too).

 
I will send your information back to the person interested in the Maine
apples. Thank you.

Idell
