The Kootenai National Forest (KNF) will have the honor of supplying the 47th National Christmas Tree for the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. in 2017. This is the second time the KNF has supplied trees for federal grounds at the Capitol – the last time was in 1989. The 2016 National Christmas Tree was an 80 foot Engelmann Spruce that came from the Payette National Forest in Idaho. The requirements for the Christmas tree are that it must be 65 to 85 feet tall.
