Bring Christmas trees to Olde Rope Mill Park, 690 Olde Rope Mill Park Road, Woodstock to be fed into the chipper from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 8.

Trees should not be flocked, painted or decorated to avoid poisoning waterways.

They also will be recycled for use in fish habitats.

From 8 a.m. to dusk Jan. 8, bring a shovel to the park and dip into the free mulch.

Also, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., free tree seedlings, coffee and donuts will be offered.

This event is sponsored by Keep Georgia Beautiful and the city of Woodstock Storm Water Department.
