A Christmas tree branch decorated with Christmas toys and pine cones will also bring joy and give your home a festive cosiness and the characteristic Christmas tree smell. By protecting nature and encouraging people to choose a branch rather than a cut Christmas tree, we are nurturing Christmas traditions and at the same time developing conscious consumption," says Valdas Kaubrė, Director of the State Forest Enterprise.
