Look for an Evergreen Day sends you outside to find a spruce, pine or another tree that stays green all winter. It is a reminder that even in the darkest season, nature never switches off completely.
How it is celebrated: people stroll through parks and woods, tell spruces, pines and firs apart by their needles and cones, and some pick out a tree to decorate for the holidays.
The bristlecone pines of the western United States can live for nearly five thousand years, and one of them, nicknamed Methuselah, ranks among the oldest known living trees.
