Pittsfield & North Adams Searching For Christmas Trees

Maybe you have the tree that you could donate to serve as an official holiday tree for the city of Pittsfield or the city of North Adams!

Both cities are seeking residents to donate their official holiday trees for the upcoming season.

Pittsfield's tree will be on display in Park Square and North Adams needs two trees for each end of Main Street.

In Pittsfield, the official holiday tree must be the minimum height of approximately 30 feet; great shape; ease of access to the tree for cutting; adequate room to safely fall the tree; and ease of transporting the tree.

Screening and selection of trees will take place the week of Oct. 28.

Cutting and installation of the tree at Park Square will be scheduled shortly after the selection.

Interested parties should contact Becky Manship, Pittsfield's recreation activities coordinator, no later than Oct. 25 at 413-499-9371.
