DEM
will use them for erosion control and habitat protection
Recycle your Christmas
tree and help improve our rivers!
In partnership with
Trout Unlimited, we’re collecting trees for upcoming projects to restore river
habitats by reducing erosion and creating refuge habitat for fish, turtles, and
other aquatic organisms.
Strategically placing the trees along the river edge narrows the stream and slows the flow of water, trapping sediment and stabilizing the bank.
Cut Christmas trees
may be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., on Friday, January 3 and Friday, January 10 at DEM
Division of Fish & Wildlife’s Outdoor Education Office in Exeter.
Please call our office
at (401) 539-0019 to schedule at drop-off time and remember to remove all bags,
tree stands, decorations and lights.
