Recycle Your Christmas Tree Donation Drive:

Date: January 19, 2018
Time: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Venue: Claytor Lake State Park
Description: Claytor Lake State Park is hosting a Recycle Your Christmas Tree donation drive starting on Christmas Day, Monday, December 25, 2017 through Friday, January 19, 2018 at the Marina parking lot anytime during park hours which are 6:00 am from 10:00 pm daily.

Help ensure years of great fishing at Claytor Lake by donating your old Christmas tree. Donated trees will be incorporated into reef structures to enhance habitat for game fish.

All trees must be free of lights, tinsel, and other ornaments. Only real trees can be donated.

Those making a tree donation will receive free park admission on the day of donation. Please follow our tree tag directions located at the drop site for proof of donation and parking pass receipt.

Trees will be received at the Marina parking lot from Christmas day, December 25, 2017, until January 19, 2018.

Trees will be deposited in the lake on both January 10th and 19th. If you are interested in volunteering at the event visit the following link for information and to sign up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0844afa72baafa7-xmas.
