The Front Range Christmas Tree promotion
is designed to help consumers find native Colorado Christmas trees
from forest restoration/wildfire mitigation projects. The purchase
of trees from these ecosystem management projects will ultimately
help offset the cost of such restoration. We also hope to encourage
civic and educational groups to participate in future retail sales
and to help coordinate the wholesale purchase of such trees with
contractors working in management areas. Merry Christmas and happy
holidays Colorado.
