Christmas Tree Shopping In The Secaucus Area? Here's A Local Guide

Secaucus, NJ — It should still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this holiday season — and to do it safely, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen across the region.

Did you know that 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 despite these unprecedented times, the tree market is still up and running this holiday season. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the coronavirus pandemic to ensure shoppers can select a tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a new guide with recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow. Sellers are advised to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.

An onsite "COVID-19 coordinator" and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged at the farms.
