June 11, 2026, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - Idaho Forest Group is excited to announce that we are the presenting sponsor of the 2026 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree! Support from fellow sponsors, along with partnerships with the U.S. Forest Service and the Society of American Foresters, helps make the tree’s journey possible. Together, we will help deliver the tree from its home in Idaho to its final destination on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Along the way, the tree will take center stage at engaging whistlestop events, providing a celebratory platform to share Idaho’s long legacy of forest stewardship, agriculture, and awe-inspiring natural resources. The tree’s official route and whistlestop event locations will be announced in early fall. Read the full press release HERE. Stay tuned for a large event at our Lewiston mill in late October! We will host a community celebration honoring the Lewiston site’s 100-year anniversary, including an opportunity to see the official U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree as it makes a stop at our mill!
