Recovery Strategy for the American Chestnut in Ontario
recommended that emphasis be placed on all American Chestnut individuals in natural
populations. Trees planted for horticulture, landscaping or research should be exempt
from the habitat regulation but can be individually assessed for possible genetic
conservation value.
If future scientific studies indicate that additional areas of habitat are necessary to
achieve the recovery goals for this species, the habitat regulation should be updated
accordingly.
