Rare grove preserves American Chestnut near West Salem
A 60 acre La Crosse County grove hosts one of the nation’s last American Chestnut stands. The trees, survivors of blistering blight, draw visitors from across the country including officials from the American Chestnut Foundation and UW La Crosse faculty. Local owners Robert and Delores Rhyme maintain the site, noting blight signs but ongoing growth on the west facing slope amid oaks, maples and spruces.
