Stihl Sponsors Capitol Christmas Tree
Each year a different national forest is selected to provide a tree for the 2020 holiday season at the U.S. Capitol. This year’s theme is Experience Your Nature. The Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests, in partnership with nonprofit partner Choose Outdoors and Colorado Tourism, brought this special gift from Colorado to Washington, D.C. Stihl is proud to sponsor the 56th anniversary of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree.
With the support and expertise of Stihl and U.S. Forest Service sawyers, the 55 ft. Engelmann Spruce was harvested in the Uncompahgre National Forest on Nov. 6 and prepared for the nearly 2,000-mile expedition. The journey of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, also known as the “People’s Tree,” included a series of 10 outdoor community celebrations primarily within the state of Colorado and was delivered to the U.S. Capitol on Nov. 20. The tree was decorated with handmade ornaments specially created by Coloradans and lit on the West Lawn in early December.
This year’s U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree will be included in a special episode of Chuck Leavell’s “America’s Forests” that captures the breadth of our nation’s woodlands. The series features different stories that demonstrate how important forest habitats are to the well-being and economic health of communities across the country.
