A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

      Not sure why you used google links. Here are the non-google links:

      • Center for Plant Conservation https://saveplants.org/
      • Spirit of Trees https://spiritoftrees.org/
      • American Forests https://www.americanforests.org/

        Probably rhetorical question but they used google links because they use the google app, which tracks every link you share. Don’t use the google app, folks

      American Chestnuts are so rare I almost replied to your comment to say there’s no way those are American Chestnuts, just Chestnut trees in America. Then I read the article. Holy shit.

    What do you call a pair of nuts on your chest? Chestnuts… and what do you call two balls on your chin? That’s right! A data center in your mouth.
