Looking for a way to dispose of your old Christmas tree?
“Christmas for the Fishes”
Live trees are being collected by the Garrard County Conservation District for recycling through the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife in the “Christmas for the Fishes” program. The program repurposes donated trees to the Cedar Creek Lake to provide places for fish to feed, shelter and spawn.
“They provide excellent refuge and feeding habitat for game fish, as well as for small fish and invertebrates that are crucial to a thriving ecosystem,” a release from the Department says. “Fish flourish in environments with diverse cover, including trees and logs. The donated trees will help restore woody structures in lakes that decay over time, providing protective cover and shade for a variety of fish species.”
The locations where trees are placed generally become hot spots for fisherman. These locations are recorded by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife staff and are made available through the “Lakes with Fish Attractors” page on the department’s website.
The conservation district will be accepting donations through January 15 at 166 Precision Court, Lancaster. Look for signage designating drop off area.
