The Alaska Region of the Forest Service, which cares for the Tongass and the Chugach National Forest, put out a call for 10,000 handmade ornaments that will grace the primary Christmas tree as well as the smaller companion trees that represent the state.
A further 6,500 ornaments will be needed to decorate the companion trees and those in federal buildings around Washington D.C. Six thousand of these ornaments will have to be lightweight, colorful, and measure between 4 and inches. An additional 500 will be needed that measure 8 inches to 10 inches. Creators are encouraged to use natural, recycled, or repurposed materials. Ornaments should not have any sharp edges that could cut skin or damage string lights.
The deadline to get ornaments to the Forest Service is Sept. 15, 2024. They can be dropped off at anyLawmaker proposes new bed tax on Alaska’s tourists
