The team at OneFortyOne is giving away Christmas trees again this year, spreading some festive cheer with what is becoming a local tradition.
Silviculture Forester Adrian Lynch said the radiata pines will be thinned from the OneFortyOne estate and available for the community to collect at the Glencoe Nursery and depots at Mount Gambier, Nangwarry and Mount Burr.
“This is my first year helping out with the Christmas trees, but OneFortyOne has given away hundreds over the years,” Mr Lynch said.
“The trees are thinned from different parts of our estate and while they’re not the kind for building houses with, they’re perfect for bringing home to decorate with the family.”
Trees will be available from 8am on December 9 and 10 on a first come first served basis at the OneFortyOne nursery and depots.
“I have not always had a real tree at Christmas, but I will this year,” Mr Lynch said.
“I’m looking forward to sharing that with my family and being a part of the joy we hope to bring to others who collect a tree.”
If you’re planning on picking up a free tree, remember to follow all safety signage at pickup locations and ensure you can safely and legally secure your tree on the ride home. Please be COVID safe by maintaining physical distancing and using sanitiser provided.
