Right now! Free Christmas trees for veterans and people in need

Adam Parks does not like thinking about tight finances causing a family to go without a Christmas tree.

He is inviting people unable to afford a tree to give him a call (332-4605) or come by his family’s Victorian Christmas Tree Ranch north of Sebastopol.

Adam also has donated a few dozen trees to the local Veterans Administration clinic for free distribution to vets.

Anyone who has served in the military and would like a tree can go - first come, first served – to the vacant lot next to the clinic Airport and Brickway boulevards, near the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport.

Adam said from his family’s tree ranch at Gravenstein Highway North and Mill Station Road it’s been a good season, and he’d like see that a lack of funds doesn’t cause anybody a treeless Christmas.

“We could have used something other than June weather,” he said as the sun glowed Thursday, “but I’m not complaining.”

  1. I’ve sent this to my niece who served 5 years in the Navy. Going two time all the way to Afghanistan on a Navel vessel with supplies. She goes to college and is getting a dental degree. God Bless the Victorian Christmas Tree Ranch!
