Where To Find A Christmas Tree Near San Anselmo-Fairfax

San Anselmo-Fairfax, CA — It should still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and to do it safely, even as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen across the region.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.. And during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure buyers can select their favorite tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a special guide with recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms. An onsite "COVID-19 coordinator" and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged.
