Christmas Tree Recycling

[Steve]

Date: December 26 - January 2, 2010
Time: 9:30 am to 4:30 pm
Cost: Free (suggested donation $5)
Location: UBC Botanical Garden, 6804 SW Marine Dr, Vancouver, BC

Beginning this year, all donations raised through the UBC Botanical Garden's Christmas tree recycling program will be directed to support educational projects at local schools. This year we are supporting the development of a heritage food garden for SPG Childcare / Quilchena Elementary. Gardens provide children with hands-on learning opportunities, and nurture an understanding and respect for the environment, food, health and the cycles of life.

Be sustainable and drop off your Christmas tree to be chipped into mulch that will be used on UBC Botanical Garden trails. Please remove all decorations, tree stands, lights and tinsel. Christmas trees only please (no yard trimmings, as potential invasive plants can harm the Garden). Submit your donations in the drop box when you drop off your tree.

I love this time of year. Out with the old and in with the new. Of course we should recycle all that old and try to be socially responsible about how much new comes in. But you get the idea.
