Arrow Tool Group announced it will serve as a Diamond Sponsor, contributing to bringing the 2026 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree from its home state of Idaho to the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. The tree’s journey is made possible through the support of sponsors and partners in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service and the Society of American Foresters.
“The journey of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree from Idaho to Washington, D.C., is a remarkable undertaking that would not be possible without the support of valued partners like Arrow Tool Group. From the moment the tree is selected in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests to its arrival on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol,
countless individuals and organizations work together to make this tradition a reality,” says Heath Perrine, deputy forest supervisor.
As part of the partnership, Arrow® will provide tools and equipment to support the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree team, holiday tool kit donations and public relations support that helps engage communities and celebrate the tradition.
“Arrow® has always believed that tools do more than build projects…they build communities, traditions and memories,” says Roberto Izaguirre, CEO of Arrow Tool Group. “We are honored to partner with the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree project and support an initiative that brings people together from coast to coast while celebrating the holiday season. As a company founded in 1929, this partnership perfectly reflects our belief that the tools we make help build something much larger than a project, they help build America.”
The tree will be harvested from the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests in late October. Its journey will include a series of community celebrations before it is delivered to the U.S. Capitol in late November, where it will be decorated with handmade ornaments specially created by Idaho residents.
“The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is much more than a holiday tradition, it is an opportunity to connect
Americans with the forests, communities and people that make this project possible. Partners like Arrow Tool Group help bring this experience to life by supporting educational outreach and the cross-country journey of the People’s Tree. We are grateful for Arrow’s commitment to helping share the story of sustainable forestry and
the many hands that come together each year to deliver this special gift to the nation,” says Terry Baker, CEO, Society of American Foresters.
