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.

Some trees become matchsticks, musical instruments or furniture. Others are turned into paper and used to make books filled with extraordinary tales of adventure. A few select trees become space travelers and have exciting stories of their own. One such NASA Moon Tree was planted Monday afternoon at Coeur d'Alene High School.
