Christmas trees become Habitat for the Holidays
LITTLE ROCK Give this year’s Christmas tree another life after the yuletide celebrations by donating it to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Habitat for the Holidays program.
The long-held tradition of cutting down or purchasing a real Christmas tree for the holiday season has seen a huge increase throughout American homes this year. When the eggnog is finished and the last of the holiday feasts are over, many of these trees are destined to sit next to the road until the sanitation department picks them up.
“Instead of letting that tree go to waste, we have drop-off locations to improve angling throughout the state,” Colton Dennis, AGFC South Arkansas Fisheries Habitat Coordinator, said. “Throughout January anglers can create brush piles in nearby lakes from these donated trees, increasing fishing opportunities and habitat for themselves and other anglers.”
