his Educational Kit was originally published by the Ontario Christmas Tree Farmers. Permission was given to the New York Christmas Tree Growers’ Association to revise and retype it for the use of the Mid Atlantic Alliance Tree Growers. The member states includes New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. It is suggested that this kit be used for Educational purposes and is offered to any clubs or educational programs. The New York Christmas Tree Growers’ Association suggest you review the Cut Your Own Directory which is available through the Association and arrange a visit to a tree farm to experience the full effect of this learning packet. The Educational Kit was approved by the New York State Department of Agriculture and the State Board of Education for use in the Ag in the Classroom program. We hope you enjoy this material and use it to educate everyone on one of the nations most popular Agriculture product, a REAL CHRISTMAS TREE.
