Some might argue that the lone, stately sequoia that stands north of the Big Pine business district is already âgreen,â but this year it is even âgreenerâ thanks to new LED Christmas lights replacing the traditional incandescent lights of the past.
Purchased with donations from local residents, the new LED lights use much less energy, last much longer than incandescent lights and will substantially reduce the costs to light the communityâs Christmas tree.
The tree is located on the corner of U.S. 395 and State Route 168.
