On this week’s show we’ll be discussing how one company is seeking to bring back the American chestnut tree. A pathogenic fungus introduced from Asia knocked out the mighty American chestnut early on in the last century and represents one of the greatest losses to North America’s forests. We’ll see if SilvaBio has a solution.
