Citizen submitted report to the Cape Charles Mirror
Inspired by the research of wetland scientists in the Netherlands, the Jefferson Parish in Louisiana took discarded Christmas trees and—rather than abandoning them in a landfill—used the trees to protect and help restore the marsh. They are used to construct shoreline fences, creating a wave break to slow land erosion. With calmer water between the fence and the shoreline, vegetation has an opportunity to grow.
Here on the Eastern Shore, Kiptopeke is looking for donated Christmas trees to help protect our shoreline.
Kiptopeke State Park wants your natural Christmas trees for dune stabilization.
Drop from Monday, 26 Dec through Tuesday, 10 January, between 8 AM and 4 PM.
Leave trees at the Kiptopeke beach, next to the sign near the bathhouse.
Call the park at 757-331-3402 with questions.
PS: Remove all decorations, including tinsel !
