The 55-year tradition of bringing a Christmas tree from the nation’s forests to the Capitol is made possible with support from partners such as the Society of American Foresters and Sierra Forever, along with contributions from companies and volunteers across America.
This year’s tree, from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada, came in a gift box of sorts, pulled by a semi-truck, as it crossed the country to Washington, D.C., where it will be on display on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol Building.
The visit, presented in partnership with Discover Flagstaff, brought together businesses and organizations from the mall and elsewhere, including Arizona Snowbowl, Bearizona and Salvation Army, adding to the festivities as Northern Arizona residents and guests gathered to sign the package and mark the momentous occasion.
