Aram Eramian, Coeur d'Alene Nursery manager for the U.S. Forest Service, walks out of the front office at Coeur d'Alene High School with a Moon Tree on Monday. The tree, which was planted on the north lawn, was one of about 1,000 seeds to travel to space during the Artemis I mission in 2022 in commemoration of the Moon Tree seeds that went to space during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971.
