We care for the environment by:
  • Planting a tree for each tree cut.
  • Protecting the soil from erosion by using buffer strips and cover crops.
  • Providing habitat for wildlife.
  • Producing quality trees with a minimal use of chemicals.
  • Protecting green spaces by nurturing our natural resources.
  • Promoting healthy soil with amendments, cover crops and allowing the soil to rest between tree rotations.
  • Providing clean air. Each acre of Christmas trees provides the daily oxygen requirements of 18 people.
  • Participating in the Conservation Stewardship Program adminstered by the USDA Natural Conservation Service.
  • Recycling of all farm lubricants.


  • Real trees are biodegradable & do not clutter our landfills with plastic.
    Purchasing a real tree is the envrionmentally responsible decision.
