N.M. set to harvest Capitol Christmas tree

摘要

Forest officials in New Mexico are ready to harvest a towering blue spruce that will serve as this year's Christmas tree in front of the U.S. Capitol. After nearly a year of planning, the tree will be cut down Nov. 6 during a ceremony in the Carson National Forest. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and forest officials will be there when the 60-foot-tall tree comes down.
