The Gift that Keeps on Giving
We collect old Christmas trees because they’re a biodegradable, effective material for stream restoration work. Once placed along riverbanks, their branches trap sediment to help rebuild and narrow channels, making the water deeper and cooler. This improves habitat for sensitive species like brook trout and allows native plants to grow, helping restore the natural health of the watershed.
This event is subject to change or cancellation due to inclement weather. Please check Park Advisories for updates to stay current on event changes or cancellations.
