Now that Christmas is in the rear-view mirror of 2024, what can be done with all those fir trees that are no longer needed to hold up the tinsel and lights in the living room?
The Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack announced this week that it is accepting Christmas trees to chip down into compost that will sustain its gardens throughout the coming year.
"You enjoyed it at your home, now let it improve the soil at Madoo. We’ll run it through the chipper and add it to our compost pile," the conservancy said in its announcement.
Trees are being accepted through Jan. 15. They should be free of tinsel and other decorations; plastic trees are not accepted. Fir trees can be left at the far end of the driveway, without blocking the ongoing welcome center construction work, at 362 Sagg Main Street.
