Rare American Chestnut Grove Threatened by Data Center Construction

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

One of the last remaining groves of American chestnut trees in the United States is reportedly set to be destroyed to make way for a data center. The trees, nearly wiped out by blight in the 20th century, are a rare surviving stand. Critics are decrying the loss of a cherished natural landmark to digital infrastructure.

Why now: Data center expansion is accelerating across the US, putting it in direct conflict with conservation of rare natural habitats.
