Annual Event
Christmas Tree Sale
Why spend hundreds on a Christmas tree this year when you can take part in Ken-Caryl’s annual Christmas Tree Sale at the Dakota Lodge on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 9-11 a.m.? This year, the event will be on a first come, first served basis. KCRMA Rangers will have fresh trees for residents to choose from. Unlike the trees found in Christmas tree sale lots, these trees are more “natural” in shape, but they will still fill your home with traditional Christmas spirit – and the delightful scent of pine!
Rangers are requesting donations (cash, check or credit card) in exchange for the trees to offset expenses in the Open Space program. Limit one tree per family to ensure many families can enjoy this great tradition.
For the annual tree sale, the rangers harvest small diameter trees in the open space to improve wildlife habitat and overall forest health. The removal of the small trees reduces overcrowding and eliminates ladder fuels that can carry fire into a forest canopy. Trees that don’t find a home are chipped and made into mulch.
