People could go in and cut down their own Christmas trees. If they wanted, they could buy some to plant in the spring after using the tree for the holiday. Those trees all came with instructions to help the new owner move the trees. Wilson said his dad didn't know enough about marketing to carry the project through once the retailer went broke. The trees also went to the Logan Tabernacle each year to serve as a backdrop for Bethlehem Revisited, a Christmas program put on by the River Heights 1st Ward.
Wildlife love the forest.
It was especially popular with deer and pheasants. The grove was annexed into Providence a few years ago. A housing development, Cobblestone at Spring Creek, is planned for the area. The gated community will include single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums. But Christopherson, who now owns the lot, says the grove will stay.
