Annual tree harvest in Prince Albert National Park underway
Families looking to start some, “Clark Grisworld,” style Christmas traditions may want to head to the Prince Albert National Park.
Beginning December 1 and running until December 24, the Prince Albert National Park and the Waskesiu Wilderness region are inviting people to harvest young Spruce and Jack Pine trees to use as their Christmas trees.
Ecologist with the park, Dustin Guedo, explained why removing the trees helps the community of Waskesiu.
“We’ve created this community fuel break is a way to help us combat wildfires if they were to ever threaten Waskesiu,” said Guedo.
