Before and after: Forester Dun Cochrane poses with a tree in the Green Mountain National Forest in Warren, which later brought some svelte and minimalist cheer to the living room of VPR's Alex Keefe.

Barring a holiday thaw, this is the time of year when the Green Mountain National Forest sports gorgeous, snowy mountains and heavy, snow-bowed pine trees.

And for $5, you can head into these woods and procure your own Christmas tree. Forester Dun Cochrane showed VPR the ropes – er, garlands.
