(Landsdale, PA) The administration of Governor Josh Shapiro held an event called “Trees for Troops,” which helped military families in need to receive Christmas trees as those helped to put trees in trucks, delivered from Bustard’s Christmas Trees in Landsdale on Thursday. One of the speakers during the event was Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, who talked about how trees are symbols of hope for those that protect our country during this Christmas season. Redding also talked about how talking trees represent a caring and appreciative message for the military. According to Redding, two percent of the nation is serving in the military as well as another two percent who is responsible for feeding those in the country, which is the underserved population that are receiving these trees through this program.
