DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – This year, the Five Rivers MetroParks is not collecting natural Christmas trees.
Previously, the park has collected trees for its conservation team and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Then, the trees were sunk into Eastwood Lake and Possum Creek to help bolster the health / population of fish.
“Due to the overwhelming generosity of the community last year, MetroParks collected and sank so many trees it does not need to collect any this year,” wrote the parks team.
