The City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in partnership with Lancaster's Economic Action for Downtown's Success (LEADS), is on the hunt for a Christmas tree to be the centerpiece of Penn Square this holiday season. The city is inviting property owners who have an appropriately shaped evergreen tree that is 25 feet or taller to contact City Arborist Rick Anderer.
The selected tree will be cut down by the city and transported to Penn Square shortly before Thanksgiving. The donor of the tree will be recognized in a press release and in the program of the Mayor's Tree Lighting on November 29. After the holiday season, the tree will be turned into mulch for city parks.
Interested property owners are asked to contact Rick Anderer at (717) 291-4846 or randerer@cityoflancasterpa.gov, providing their name, address, phone number, location of the tree, and a photo. A jury of city staff and LEADS board members will select the tree. According to the City of Lancaster's official website, the tree will be the centerpiece of the Mayor’s Tree Lighting & Tuba Christmas in November.
