Where To Find A Christmas Tree In 2020 Near North Haven

North Haven, CT — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most beloved holiday traditions in 2020, it should still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and most importantly, do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states. And during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as COVID-19 cases rise to ensure locals can select their perfect tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a special guide containing recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers 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 touchless, paperless payment systems are also being encouraged at the farms.
