2008 Holiday Tree Sale to Benefit Forestry, Wildlife Student Scholarships
Contact: Louis Morin, 481-2854
ORONO — The University of Maine’s School of Forest Resources is holding its longstanding annual holiday tree sale for scholarships through Dec. 14, in front of the Nutting Hall courtyard.
Forestry students expect to sell more than 100 Fraser fir or balsam trees, 4 feet tall and up for $16-$36, says Louis Morin, forest resources instructor. Proceeds benefit a scholarship fund for forestry and wildlife students’ summer field camp training programs.
The trees, from UMaine alum Toby Hall and his wife Cynthia’s Hall’s Christmas Tree Farm in Sangerville, will be available on campus:
Monday through Thursday, Dec. 1-4 and Dec. 8-11, 3 p.m. to dark;
Friday, Dec. 5 and Dec. 12, noon to sunset;
And the weekends of Dec. 6-7 and Dec. 13-14, from 9 a.m. to dark.
For additional information, Morin can be reached at 581-2854. The annual holiday tree sale at UMaine began in the 1950s.
