The Rocks' Trees For Troops Spread Holiday Cheer

The Rocks
A volunteer helps with the Trees for Troops program in 2019 at The Rocks.

The Rocks' Christmas Tree Farm will be a part of the Trees for Troops program again this holiday season as the pickup location for New Hampshire and Vermont, thanks to the incredible support of the Autosaver Group. Together, our two states donate approximately 450 Christmas trees each year. Funds to support the program are raised annually at The Rocks in Bethlehem by the Wilczek Family, who let customers have their pictures taken with the family's Bernese Mountain dogs around Christmas time in exchange for a donation to Trees for Troops.
Tree for Troops has donated 14,500 trees to troops nationwide through the Christmas Spirit Foundation. FedEx sponsors the trucking of the trees across the country to military bases. This summer, both of these sponsors received the Christmas Spirit awards for their commitment to Trees for Troops.

The Forest Society is also grateful to the business members who chose to donate a Christmas tree from The Rocks, one of their member benefits, to Trees for Troops this year:
