Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 In The Overland Park Area

Overland Park, KS — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it might still be possible to find the ideal Christmas tree for your family — 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 coronavirus cases rise to ensure buyers can select a tree with minimal health and safety risk.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a special guide with recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow. The guide advises sellers to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.

Maximum head counts and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged at the farms.
