As the date for this year’s Grand Illumination, Friday, December 2, 5-8PM, quickly approaches, the City of Charlottesville is seeking donations for a holiday tree.
Steve Gaines, Urban Forrester of Charlottesville Parks and Recreation, is leading the effort. The City is looking for a conifer (white pine, spruce, or fir), 15-20 feet tall and 10-12 feet in diameter. The perfect holiday tree would be free from obvious disease, wounds and bare spots.
Interested landowners can contact the Charlottesville Parks and Recreation office at 434-970-3587 or Steve Gaines at 434-989-9110 or gainess@charlottesville.gov.
