Kettering is welcoming tree donations from any area municipality. Typically, the city’s holiday tree is a blue or Norway spruce measuring 30 to 50 feet high, officials said.
The city is encouraging anyone with a fir tree that’s a potential good fit, regardless of species, to call Kettering’s parks division at 937-296-2486 to schedule an assessment or with any questions about the donation process.
Kettering crews will visit with the property owner to determine if the tree is usable as the mayor’s tree and is able to be harvested from the property, officials said.
If the tree is identified as a good fit, Kettering crews will take it down the tree down for free and property owners will only be responsible for removing the tree stump, according to the city.
