In Halton, discarded Christmas trees are used to restore and protect wildlife in creeks and streams.
Abstract:
-----
Excerpts:
Although the holidays are over, Conservation Halton is just beginning to stockpile hundreds of Christmas trees.
They're an important resource for restoration efforts in the region, with the conservation authority using the discarded trees to narrow over widened creeks and streams and, in turn, protect local wildlife.
"With an over-widened creek, we have a greater surface area for the sun to warm up the water, and when this water is very, very warm, it's not habitable to sensitive species," said Kent Rundle, watershed stewardship co-ordinator with Conservation Halton.
