CT-TACF Presentation on The Restoration of the American Chestnut sponsored by the Woodbury Shade Tree and Sidewalk Committee

The American chestnut was a reliable provider of food and shelter for wildlife as well as Native and Early Americans until an introduced blight fungus decimated the species in the early 20th century.  Learn about the history of the American chestnut, it’s decline and the efforts currently underway to try and restore this keystone species back to the forests of Connecticut.

This event is organized in partnership with the 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.
