Chestnut photos at Land Between the Lakes (LBL),
May 2007
(Photos by Amy Larson and Joe Schibig)
At LBL, over 200 chestnut specimens have been located close to
Kentucky Lake in Stewart and Trigg counties on the western edge of LBL.

Will.
This old decay-resistant chestnut log has likely been resting on a bluff
overlooking
Kentucky Lake for about 70 years since it likely died of blight in the 1940s.

Joe takes a photo of a chestnut with a beautiful swollen canker which is
evidence that this American chestnut tree has some resistance to blight.
