Real Christmas trees a little pricey this year?

The decades-old initiative, run by the US Forest Service, has become a tradition for those seeking a side of adventure along with a cherished tree. 

Each year, 200,000 to 300,000 trees are taken home from forests across the country. It’s part of a seasonal cull that forest managers say improves a forest’s health and helps weed out potential fire hazards.

 

It's a little too late to do it for this year (my bad), but file this away and maybe next year you can do this, too. The Forest Service even has a website you can go to for more info. Find it here:
