Wait really? I'm so used to thinking about galactic level events happening over millions or billions of years. Had not expected that such a change could be on the timeline of humanity.

My dad told me stories of how before the chestnut epidemic there were Chestnut trees everywhere from maine to Georgia. A squirrel could travel practically the whole way simply on the branches of the American Chestnut tree.

It would be so cool to get to see even a partial return. Plus chestnuts are frigging tasty!
