Once known as the "redwood of the East," the American Chestnut tree was a towering giant of the Appalachian forests—providing food, lumber, and livelihoods. But in the early 1900s, a deadly blight nearly wiped it out. In this video, we explore the rise and tragic fall of the American Chestnut, its importance to mountain communities, and the inspiring efforts underway to restore this legendary tree to its former glory. | The Appalachian Project

One of the greatest ecological disasters the US has ever seen. Chestnut blight wiped out the American chestnut tree in less than 50 years.⁠ A tree that once made up nearly 25% of the eastern forests was reduced to a functionally extinct species.⁠ ⁠ The Asian fungus Cryphonectria parasitica was accidentally introduced into the United States in the late 1800s. While a few diseased chestnuts were noted in the 1880s and 90s, it wasn't until 1904 that the pathogen was identified in New York City. Fro

When I bought this house, I had no idea I was also buying a piece of history — a small stand of chestnut trees, some of the oldest in Portland. Chestnuts once fed entire nations — Indigenous communities harvested them long before the blight erased nearly all 4 billion trees across North America. Every fall, I gather what they give — about 20 pounds a DAY — and sell them locally. It feels less like a business, more like carrying on an old rhythm. I’ve found that many people have a nostalgic conne
