Help the parks

I remember the first time I heard about recycling Christmas trees. This town was taking them and bundling them tight to dump in an area of the local reservoir. It seems that the small fish were able to hide and survive to a larger size among the bundles and that helped the habitat, and the local fishing. This is almost as good.
Remember to drop off your trees at Lee Victory Recreation Park, 110 Sam Ridley Parkway. Drop-off period will be December 26 to January 17. Please remove all lights and decorations from the tree and drop it off at the designated area only. The chips from this program will be placed on new and existing trails and playground surfaces. For more information, contact Monty Perkins, Smyrna Parks & Recreation, 615-459-9742 X2612.
Have a good and safe holiday.

I saw an article about a company that actually 'rents' xmas trees and after xmas comes and picks it up.
Expensive stuff for the 'greener than thou' crowd.
