Moore Tree Farm is donating Real Christmas Trees as part of the nationwide Trees for Troops program, sponsored by The Christmas Tree Farmers Association of New York, the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation and FedEx Corp.

This holiday season, Trees for Troops is expected to collect and deliver more than 11,000 Real Christmas Trees from 27 states to military families across the United States, as well as to soldiers serving overseas.

“Our military and their families have been providing a real service to our country,” says Beth Walterscheidt, president of the National Christmas Tree Association and a Christmas tree farmer from Elgin, Texas. “And, as Christmas tree farmers, we want them to be able to experience a traditional Christmas with a Real Tree.”

The Trees for Troops program was launched in 2005, and with the help of FedEx Corp., delivered more than 4,300 Christmas Trees to five U.S. military bases, as well as an overseas shipment to the Middle East.

“Trees for Troops was a huge success,” says Christmas SPIRIT Foundation chairman Nigel Manley, a Christmas Tree grower in Bethlehem, N.H. “It really resonated with our industry and the military.”

The collection and delivery of trees will take place from the end of November through December. Consumers contribute to the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation at www.ChristmasSPIRITFoundation.org. More information is also available at www.TreesforTroops.org.
