Trees for Trails

Local residents have been donating their Christmas trees to our Trees for Trails event since 1976. The Nature Center accepts trees from Christmas until mid-January, when High Falls Tree Service and Irondequoit Lawn & Landscape come to transform the trees into wood chips. Volunteers help unload trees and spread the chips, which will control erosion on our trails all year.

DO Drop off whole trees only
