What is Falling Needles Family Fest Day?

On December 30th, the Falling Needles Family Fest Day serves as a reminder to clean up and recycle the live Christmas tree.

Every state has recycling options, some with pick up
Mulch the tree for bedding around your house or donate to mulching programs
Provide cover to birds and use the tree as a place to hang treats to feed them before recycling. The tree will need some anchoring, so see this article from Purdue University for more information. If winter is over, you can still use the tree for other recycling needs
