Restoration of the American Chestnut

The American chestnut was a keystone species in the forests of the Appalachian Range until a blight fungus from Asia decimated the population. Join members of the American Chestnut Foundation for a presentation that explains why the American chestnut was so important to the area and the steps that the foundation is taking in its efforts to restore this iconic tree to the eastern forests.

​

This event is organized in partnership with The Woodbury Shade Tree & Sidewalk Committee. The Woodbury Shade Tree & Sidewalk Committee supports the community by planting trees in public spaces, educating residents about trees and their care, and advocating for improved pedestrian walkways.

The talk is open to all but registration is requested.
