~ The Great Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Hunt ~
Saturday, December 14th, 2019
10:00 am - 2:30 pm (two time slots available)
*Enjoy a hike at beautiful Ocean Song*
*Hunt for your favorite non-traditional Christmas Tree*
*Bring a picnic to enjoy in the Ocean Song Garden*
Bring your family to Ocean Song, outside of Occidental, to find your non-traditional Christmas tree for this holiday season. LandPaths welcomes you for a very special opportunity to find solace in nature alongside others in your community (from a safe distance!), as we work together to heal - both ourselves and the land. Harvest a free Christmas Tree and help our fire reduction work at Ocean Song at the same time! Folks will be invited to remove Douglas fir in an area of the preserve where thinning is necessary for stewardship of the land. Participants will be able to take home a Doug fir for their Christmas tree! You are invited to harvest as many trees as you like. Lots of different sizes available and while these are NOT manicured trees like you may purchase at a Christmas Tree Farm, they are filled with meaning and love. In harvesting this tree, you will have helped fire reduction work for this land at the same time! Trees are free but donations appreciated :)
