City of Lancaster & LEADS Seeking Christmas Tree for the Holiday Season
October 16, 2026
The City of Lancaster, in partnership with Lancaster’s Economic Action for Downtown’s Success (LEADS), is seeking an evergreen to serve as the City’s Christmas tree in Penn Square this holiday season.
Property owners with a healthy conifer at least 30 feet tall and full on all sides who plan to remove the tree are encouraged to contact the City by October 31. Interested property owners should reach out to City arborist Rick Anderer at (717) 291-4846 or [email protected]. Please include a name, address, phone number, the tree’s location and a photo.
The tree selected will be cut down by the City, then transported and mounted in Penn Square shortly before Thanksgiving. The donor will be recognized in a press release and the program at the Mayor’s Tree Lighting on November 27. After the holidays, the tree will be transformed into mulch for City parks.
