Green Christmas Tree farm
The Candy Cane Christmas Tree Farm in Oxford, Michigan has been honored for its environmentally-friendly practices. The tree farm was awarded a Proactive Leader in Ecology Management Award. The steps they have taken to make their tree farm more green include planting all the trees with an electric auger, rather than a gas-powered tractor; a drip-irrigation method; selling trees in pots so they can be replanted after the holidays; and intermingling of tree species to prevent disease. Good for them.
