This Is My GlasgowIt's that time of year when large numbers of young Christmas trees, now free of their festive duties, can be seen roaming the streets of Glasgow. They can often be found hanging out at bus stops on a Saturday night, like this one I spotted yesterday on Crow Road in Partick, drinking Buckfast and shouting at passersby. 😀

Why Are Old Christmas Trees Being Buried?

DESCRIPTION:
This is such a better use for old Christmas trees than ending up in landfill!
Every winter, volunteers head to beaches across the country, digging trenches in sand dunes and packing them full of old Christmas trees.
But this isn’t some quirky art project, it’s called “dune thatching,” and organisations like The Wildlife Trust and National Trust are using it to help protect coastal communities from flooding!
See, sand dunes are an unsung hero and one of the best natural barriers for coastal towns from high tides, storm surges, flooding and erosion.
But in places like Lancashire, over 80% of them have been lost in the past 150 years, due to human development and rising seas.
So christmas trees stop the sand dunes from washing away and protect the vegetation that holds dunes together, strengthening their structures. (and the wildlife that depends on them)
So instead of trees ending up in landfill, they can be used to protect coastal communities and wildlife instead!
If you want to get involved, you can donate your tree or volunteer to help out, or look for initiatives like this near you!

#LitchfieldME — "With the holidays winding down, it’s time to consider options for getting rid of the Christmas tree.
"While many cities and towns offer pickup or drop off, some goat farms are happy to help as well.
"At #IronLeafFarm in Litchfield, several Nigerian dwarf goats are ready and able to strip your tree bare.
" 'They get trace minerals, antioxidants, forage, it helps with cutting down on hay in the winter,' farm owner Anne Seeber said.
" 'No tinsel, make sure it’s clear of all lights and ornaments,' Seeber said. 'We do give them a once over before we allow the goats to have them.' "
