Last American chestnut grove threatened by data center

Original: One of America's Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center

One of the last surviving groves of American chestnut trees in the United States is reportedly set to be destroyed to make way for a data center. The rare trees, nearly wiped out by blight in the 20th century, have drawn concern from conservationists who say the project prioritizes data infrastructure over protecting a fragile piece of natural heritage.

Why now: Data center expansion is colliding with environmental preservation, a conflict drawing renewed attention.
