Salmonberry tree sale
Are you looking for a beautiful Christmas tree to brighten up your home for the holiday season? Starting on Thanksgiving weekend, Salmonberry School is presenting its 4th Annual Christmas tree sale. Look for the trees and the toasty wood stove at the corner of Henry Lane and North Beach Road. There will be several species to choose from including Noble, Grand, Douglas and Frasier firs in sizes from table tops to towers. While most of the trees are harvested from small family farms located in the Skagit Valley and Snohomish, this year the Lum Farm on Orcas will be offering live and u-cut trees from their Christmas tree farm as well. “We strive to find healthy, sustainably harvested trees with no chemical treatment,” say organizers. “They are hand selected and freshly cut to ensure that needles stay on your tree right through the season, and they smell wonderful.” As a part of this fundraiser, Salmonberry students made a pledge to replant at least one tree for every tree they sell. This November they visited the Beaverton Marsh wetlands rehabilitation project. This site, purchased by the San Juan County Land Bank, is being restored from a domestic cattle mono-crop grazing pasture to its original diverse wetland habitat. Salmonberry students have twice previously visited the site and helped to plant willows, hawthorns, salmonberries and other shrubs. This fall they checked on their previous plantings, some now five years old, and planted more trees. Christmas trees will be available for purchase at Salmonberry School, 867 North Beach Rd., starting Saturday, Nov. 30. Hours will be 3 to 5 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays or by appointment. For more information, call Amy and Eric Lum at 376-4454.
