American Chestnut Information & Givea...
Description
The American chestnut was once considered the redwood of the east, the most important tree in the native ecosystem of our region. Sadly, a deadly blight wiped the species out, but a team of scientists has been working to restore what was lost. Join us to learn more about this majestic tree, and receive a free seedling to plant (depending on supply) and contribute to its recovery as king of the eastern forest!
