@1010wins923: 🌱 American chestnut trees are functionally extinct in the wild after a blight in the early 1900s wiped out 4 billion across the country, including in New York City, where they were once prevalent. In a symbolic gift this week, the New York Restoration Project gave 20 hybrid saplings of the species to the Bronx Zoo, and the team got to work planting them in different locations on zoo grounds. @_thewcs @nyrestorationproject 🎙️ Lori Madden with the details 📹📸 Wildlife Conservation Society, Dan Rosen (Digital WCS) 🔊 Tune into 1010 WINS AT 92.3 FM for more local news #nyc #newyorkcity #nyclocalnews #nycnews #bronxzoo #bronx #wildlifeconservationsociety #conservation #americanchestnuttrees #trees #chestnuts #nature #biodiversity #newstok
