    New Haven, CT, September 13, 2011

    The staff of the New Haven Department of Parks, Recreation & Trees is looking for a very special tree to be used on the New Haven Green during the winter holidays.

    The tree must be between 55 and 70 feet high and should be a Norway spruce or Douglas fir (but not a blue spruce). The donated tree will be decorated with over 30,000 lights; be the holiday centerpiece of the historic green and will be removed from your property free of charge.

    Trees between 25 and 40 feet high will be considered for future years or other locations.

    To donate a tree call Christy Hass at the Parks’ Maintenance Division (203) 946-8004.
