Clear Day Thunder: Rescuing the American Chestnut Tree 4.25

On Thursday, April 25th at 6pm, the Rhode Island Historical Society will be screening a new documentary film from The American Chestnut Foundation: Clear Day Thunder, a documentary about the efforts of passionate citizen scientists and researchers working to restore this ecologically and economically significant tree species.

In the late 1800s, Cryphonectria Parasitica, was inadvertently imported to the U.S. from Asia. The American Chestnut was eliminated as a mature forest tree, rendering it functionally extinct. This film showcases the unwavering commitment of staff, scientists, and volunteers who are determined to save the tree.
