On Tuesday, November 22 LBL and partner Swift & Staley donated an eastern red cedar to the city of Murray, KY. The 28 feet tall 12 feet in diameter Christmas tree will be on display in front of the downtown court house. The USDA Forest Service has traditionally provided the tree for our nation’s capitol, known as the “People’s Tree.” This year the Stanislaus National Forest in California will harvest a red fir and deliver it to the U.S. Capitol. To learn more about the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree and track its progress from California to Washington D.C. visit http://www.capitolchristmastree2011.org/index.html. Anyone who is interested in getting their own LBL cedar tree to obtain a free permit to do so during the holiday season. A cedar tree permit, valid December 1-24, entitles a family to cut one cedar tree at no charge. Permits, maps, and cutting guidelines may be obtained from the LBL Administrative Office, 8am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday, and at the Golden Pond Visitor Center, 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday. On Christmas Eve, December 24, the Visitor Center will close at 3pm.
