CHRISTMAS TREES FOR FISH HABITATS

Stripped of any tinsel, ornaments, garland or artificial snow products, natural Christmas trees can be sunk in lakes and ponds to create perfect fish habitats. Many local conservation groups and some government agencies will accept donated trees to create these habitats. Near Lake Texoma, for example, Texas Parks and Wildlife officials bundle donated trees together and sink them near the Arrowhead State Park fishing docks to create brush shelters.
