When you take down your natural Christmas tree after the holidays, be sure to dispose of it in an eco-friendly way. Trees can be dropped off at one of five Chip-It locations to be chipped and composted into nutrient rich compost GlenGrow (available at various locations, including the Glenmore landfill).

You can bring your own saw or sawzall - no chainsaws please

This is a farm and there are hazards to watch for!
Please avoid stepping in and on:
sprinkler holes, water boxes and small trees.

Please encourage children to leave tree marking sticks alone…these help others avoid stepping on vulnerable trees.

Please dress for the weather and wear gloves when handling your tree.

Plan how you are going to get your tree home.
- on top of the car is ok for short distances - bring cords, rope or tie downs. Have the butt end of the trunk toward the front of your vehicle
- inside your vehicle - an old sheet, tarp or drop cloth will keep your vehicle cleaner

Female dogs on leash are welcome, please pick up and take home anything your dog drops!
