Here is something to think about: The eastern mountains have a high percentage of evergreen trees of one sort or another. <br />What I've done: Go to several thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales - you name it, and look for old christmas trees. The plastic kind. Look at the branchs and see if the little (branchlets?) parts don't resemble small trees. I cut them apart while watching TV or just nothing else to do. In an evenings time you can have several hundred small trees. <br /> As you cut them off, stick them in some white foam - the kind that makes a mess when you cut it. Bunch them closely and pretty soon you'll have a forest. <br />To use: Poke holes in your hardshell - plaster - whatever you use and stick the "trees" Into the ground. Every so often, spray one with red or brown primer. Thats the cheep 98 cent stuff at the discount store. When you have them stuck where you want them, spray lightly with hairspray and "drizzle" some ground foam over them. They really look good as background. Some of the better ones can be used up front.
