Where exactly will your Christmas tree end up after the season?

It’s a lot of fun to have a tree to decorate your home for the holidays, but it’s also comforting to know that the little tree in your living room will have a long life ahead of it. It won’t end up as mulch or in a landfill, but planted back into the earth immediately after the holidays.

After the 2007 San Diego wildfires, we knew there were numerous families that had acres upon acres of devastated land, so we personally located many that would love to welcome the trees onto their land. Below are before and after pictures of the Maisch family and a sweet letter from them, expressing their appreciation to all the families that participated in Adopt-A-Christmas-Tree last season. They’d lost 10 acres to the Witch Creek Fire. We donated 20 trees to them last year and they’re willing to accept even more this year. We also donated 85 trees to Mr. Leon, who’d lost 40 acres to the Harris Fire, and more to the Canfields, who lost 10 acres to the Witch Creek Fires in Ramona. The most heartfelt donation was to the Deer Habitat for Project Wildlife, which was almost destroyed due to the Harris Fire.

If you know any families or organizations in San Diego that would love to give these gorgeous trees happy homes, feel free to let us know and we can make the proper arrangements. The replanting of the trees will take place during January 2010.

Happy Holidays and Have a Happy, Healthy, Eco-friendly Holiday!
