 Ken also explained these stories of nostalgia with reverence. There was an honour in the way the stories of the Human-Chestnut relationality were passed down as well. These emotions are rendered political in the comparative ecologies of how capitalist structures exploit natural resources (such as forest ecosystems), but in the region of Central Appalachia, the ways of living once were and continue to revere multispecies assemblages by the way people talk about a world that once was. Another thread of the honour involved in Human-Chestnut relations was expressed by Sara when she discussed her:

 When reflecting upon the mountain culture and the Chestnut's role in this culture, Rex vividly summed up the historical relationships that were changed when the Chestnuts died.
 However, he pointedly showed how the mountain culture did not disappear immediately, rather carried with the people of Appalachia. When looking at the ways of life surrounding mountain culture, Savannah believed:

 Rex mentioned this shortly after discussing how his father carried a type of sadness surrounding the Chestnut tree. These are ways of life that are decreasing in great quantity and ending types of emotional and physical engagements with land and life in Appalachia. Outside of the regions of Central Appalachia, there were political ecologies occurring where the Chestnut blight enabled prosperity for harvesting the wood. Due to the unstoppable behavior of the Chestnut Blight, agencies informed land owners to harvest the Chestnut trees before the Blight killed them.
