³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ

The American chestnut tree, once plentiful across the eastern US, became nearly extinct  in the early 1900s due to an introduced blight.  People, wildlife and our economy have suffered as a result of this valuable tree’s decline.  Now, thanks to a few dedicated individuals, the tree is making a comeback.  Join us for a planting of American chestnut trees at the Peace Grove in an effort to restore this vital part of our ecosystem.  Do not miss this unique opportunity, as ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ will be home to one of only three blight resistant trees in the entire state of Maine!
