The fish of Allatoona Lake will appreciate your Christmas tree.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced it will accept organic Christmas trees – no artificial trees, please – to be recycled by being placed in the lake as fish structures.
“This is in support of the Allatoona Lake Fish Habitat Improvement Program, which is a partnership between federal, state and local governments as well as several organizations and businesses,” said Christopher Purvis, lead ranger at Allatoona Lake.
Trees will be accepted Dec. 26-Jan. 3 at the Allatoona Lake Project Management Office, Victoria Day Use Parking Area, Galt’s Day Use Parking Area, Sweetwater Campground Overflow Parking Area, Payne Boat Ramp, Blockhouse 1 Fishing Jetty (behind the convenience store), and Bethany Bridge Fishing Jetty Parking Area.
Drop-off locations will be marked with signs and flagging tape. Trees must be free of decorations, such as tinsel, lights, garland, bulbs and artificial snow.
