Summary |
A Gift to the Nation: From Ohio and the Wayne National Forest >> Subtitle: The 1987 Capitol Christmas Tree >> In 1987 one of the smallest National Forests in the country, located in the midst of the hardwood forests of southeastern Ohio. was selected to provide the Christmas tree for our nation's Capital in Washington, D.C. >> This book details how the Wayne National Forest came to receive that honor and how a small. dedicated group of Forest Service employees. as well as local organizations. agencies. schools. businesses. and citizens rallied around the project to make it one of the most successful in the history of the program. >> The Capitol Christmas Tree annually generates substantial publicity on its own but by also tying it to the Bicentennial Celebrations of both the nationally significant Northwest Ordinance and the City of Marietta. the event grew to proportions not imagined when the potential idea first surfaced in 1981. |
