On a Saturday in late November, the San Juan Mountains Association hosted a community Christmas tree harvest. More than 80 volunteers joined the organization’s staff to help cut down 420 white firs.

The San Juan Mountains Association, a nonprofit that promotes responsible recreation and stewardship on public lands, partners with the U.S. Forest Service for the annual harvest. The event serves as both a fundraiser for the group’s Christmas tree lot in Durango and a way to improve forest health.
