chestnut forests
Nut tree groves
Chestnut forests are woodlands dominated by chestnut trees, historically covering vast areas of eastern North America and Europe.
The American chestnut forest was largely destroyed by blight in the early twentieth century, making the phrase now appear mostly in historical, ecological, or conservation contexts: Efforts continue to restore the chestnut forests of Appalachia.
