We need help supplying THOUSANDS of Tree Cookies for our 2025 programs. Do you have trees/branches, a chop-saw, and a drill? 3-5 inches in diameter and less than 1/2 inch thick. We use over 4,000 yearly for nametags, environmental ed programs, crafts and more. Any hard wood and any cross-cut showing tree rings works ideally for us. Cut 'em, drill 'em, deliver 'em, or call with questions (540-992-2940). THANK YOU!
