What to do with that Tree

For many, the tree comes down when the grandparents/grandchildren leave, but what of the tree? There are numerous 'green' options for the disposal of a holiday tree. You can call your local ODFW office and see if they are doing any log placements, the trees have been used in the past as part of these projects. You can chop it up and burn it, if you have a wood stove or any other type of fire place. You can use it to build something like a stool or a table. Don't forget to save the needles which can be used to spice food (use them in a sachet or cheese cloth so you don't have to pick the needles out).

Stick it in your yard, either on its side or standing up in a hole or other stand, for the birds and other wildlife. You could also use it to construct a raised bed. Think of the saved trip to the lumber store!

Please don't put it against your neighbors door and ring the bell. This is very rude and nobody wants to deal with this type of shinanagins after the holidays!

Merry Christmas and a happy new year :)
