My Story
I was once known as the “Redwood of the East” and often reached heights of 150 feet. I was considered to be among the largest, tallest and fastest growing trees in the US.
Once, together with my brothers and sisters, we covered over 200 million acres of eastern woodlands from Maine to Florida, and from the Piedmont west to the Ohio Valley.
We used to rank as the most important wildlife plant in the United States. Squirrels, wild turkey, white-tailed deer, black bear, raccoon and grouse depended on us for their food and survival.
Sadly, in the first half of the 20th century, 1 out of 4 trees across the 180 acre range of eastern forests were killed because of an accidently introduced disease – the chestnut blight.
Although we still exist today, I rarely have an opportunity to grow past my teenage years, or produce nuts.
You can help us by planting us in your yard and by joining Antinanco Earth Arts School’s efforts to bring us back to our forests.
