Only 350 days until Christmas! If you aren’t ready to start on your 2008 Christmas
shopping, here is a way to help take Montana to Washington DC this year. Montana
~ and the Bitterroot National Forest ~ have been asked to provide the Capitol
Christmas Tree for 2008. Asking a National Forest to provide “the People’s Tree” as
the Capitol Tree is often called, is a tradition that started in 1970. Each year since
then, a different National Forest and the State in which the Forest is located, are
asked to provide The Tree, and all of the trimmings as a gift to our nation. The Tree
Committee invites you to join them! Check out the tree website
(www.capitolchristmastree2008.org) then contact Nan Christianson at the BitterrootNational Forest at (406) 363-7113 to find out where you can help.
