Got an old Christmas Tree? Give it to Trout Unlimited

[Deleted member 67409]

Saw on Facebook that the local Trout Unlimited chapter uses old Christmas trees to rebuild river beds and create trout habitats.

Very similar to when I lived in Louisiana and retired Christmas trees were used to buffer the coastal wetlands

Oh ya, lets add more dry fuel to the forests.

Oh ya, lets add acidic connifer trees to the clean, clear streams so they can add silty matter and alter the pH of them.

I'd sooner chop it up and compost it for my garden....but I already have 40,000 cubic feet of woodchips to work with( and its nowhere near any suface water.)

They are fooling themselves if they think they will change the course of nature. The trout will find their place.

We have about 800 feet of stream on our property. We referenced this guide before doing anything near it. As a result, we’ve left all the overhanging trees. etc.
