During the Festival of Trees, the Friends of Natural Bridge State Park asks local organizations to decorate a holiday tree to represent themselves in the community.

Members of the community will then vote for their favorite tree by placing this year's donation items under the tree of their choice. You may also purchase a ballot at the front counter to cast votes with. The tree with the most items and ballots by December 31 will be the winner.

This year the Festival of Trees will support the Natural Bridge/Glasgow Food Pantry and Unity4Kids for children ages 10-16.

Please bring non-perishable, unexpired food items to help out the Natural Bridge/Glasgow Food Pantry. For Unity4Kids suggested donations include personal hygiene products, school supplies, clothing of all sizes, shoes of all sizes, gadgets, and toys.

The Rockbridge 4-H Tree was put up and decorated today! Be sure to head out to the Natural Bridge Visitor’s Center to support our organization🍀
