Goddard Park Highlight
Published on
A highlight of the Tree Council’s 2023 Summer Workshop at Goddard Park was a chance to see years of work by the American Chestnut Foundation come to literal fruition. Since the American Chestnut demise in the American landscape (A fungal blight has left the trees stunted), people concerned by the absence of this tree in our forests, have assembled a team, and concocted a scheme, whereby these wonderful chestnut trees may be rescued from a future of understory inadequacy. Through breeding selection, resistance to this fungus has been sought. The project is looking fruitful.
It is a wonderful story of science, passion, and hope.
