Recycle your Christmas tree

From Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife

Frankfort, KY - Repurposing your used cut Christmas trees helps give Kentucky's underwater inhabitants new homes after the holiday season ends.

Starting Dec. 26, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will be collecting natural Christmas trees at 39 drop-off locations across the state for its Christmas for the Fishes program. Collection will continue until mid-January.

"Christmas for the Fishes gives people the opportunity to participate in our year-round conservation efforts," says Joseph Zimmerman, habitat program coordinator for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. "Instead of your tree going to a landfill, it can be recycled into something that directly helps our fish and wildlife."
