Instead of letting your Christmas tree end up in a landfill, consider donating it to the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s “Christmas for the Fishes” program.
Through January 15th, you can drop off your real, undecorated tree at various locations across the state. These trees will be transformed into underwater fish habitats, providing essential shelter, feeding grounds, and spawning areas for various fish species.
By donating your tree, you’re not only reducing waste but also contributing to a healthier aquatic ecosystem. Kentucky’s lakes will benefit from these natural structures, creating thriving habitats for fish and enhancing recreational fishing opportunities.
The drop off location in the Lake Cumberland Area is the KDFWR Office at 135 Realty Lane in Somerset
