🌳 NEW: A nearly 300-year-old live #oak that stood during the #RevolutionaryWar in #SouthCarolina is being restored after decades-old steel chains meant to save it from #lightning damage have actually been choking the #tree.

Arborists are now removing the chains and using #supersonic air #technology to aerate compacted #soil, adding #kelp nutrients, and installing modern lightning protection to extend its life another century.
