Once there were an estimated 4 billion American chestnut trees in eastern forests....
American chestnut made up 25% of the trees within its native range which stretched from Maine to Georgia and west to the Mississippi.
Wildlife depended on the abundant crop of nuts.
The trees were giants that grew on average one hundred feet tall and five feet in diameter.
Many were even bigger.

Chestnut was both a staple and cash crop for rural families. In the fall, attics were stacked with bags full of the tasty nuts,
and smokehouses were filled with meats from livestock fattened on the harvest.
Mountains of chestnuts were shipped to large cities as an essential holiday fare.
American chestnut was one of the best timber trees. It grew straight and tall.
The wood was also rot-resistant and easy to work. Loggers tell of loading entire railroad cars with the boards cut from just one tree.
Then chestnut blight struck. The lethal accidentally imported fungus was first discovered in 1904 and spread at a frightening speed.
By 1950 the American chestnut was virtually wiped out.
The American chestnut can be brought back!
