Trees for Trout — Tree Ecocycling with Trout Unlimited

Trees for Trout is back in Wilton!

Consider “eco-cycling” your tree with Trout Unlimited to help improve the health of our local rivers! Each year, millions of Christmas trees are simply discarded after the holidays, but can go to good use providing habitat for a number of species.

TU volunteers will happily turn your natural tree into important habitat for trout in the Norwalk River. Your tree will join others in helping stabilize stream-banks, reduce erosion and create refuge habitat for juvenile trout and other aquatic life during projects all summer long.

Collection will take place on both Saturday, Jan. 3 and Saturday, Jan. 10 at Merwin Meadows Park from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. both days. Just drive up with your tree and our volunteers will take care of the rest.

Suggested donation is $10

Friendly reminder: natural trees only — synthetic trees or trees with tinsel or flocking cannot be accepted.
