Katherine -- American Chestnut Photo Project

Katherine is working on a set of photos related to the natural history of the American Chestnut tree.

At one time the American Chestnut was the dominant tree species in Eastern US forest. However, in 1904 a fungal blight was introduced that infected and killed all adult trees.

A few years after we moved to Lincoln, several hundred Chestnut trees were planted in a meadow on one of our walking trails. Today we found out that these trees are part of nationwide effort to breed a new variety of American Chestnut that incorporates the blight resistance genes from the Chinese chestnut.

See masschestnut.org/pathToMostResistance.php and the American Chestnut Foundation national web site for the history of this project. www.acf.org/
