One of America's Last Chestnut Groves Faces Data Center Demolition
Original: One of America's Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center
A rare surviving grove of American chestnut trees is reportedly slated for destruction to make way for a new data center. The trees are among the last remnants of a species nearly wiped out by blight in the 20th century. The story is drawing attention as an example of technology infrastructure displacing irreplaceable natural heritage, with many questioning whether such sites should be protected from development.
Why now: Data center expansion is under scrutiny for its environmental footprint, and the loss of a rare natural landmark makes the trade-off especially contentious.
