Do you have a live Christmas tree? Here's one way you can recycle it
There’s nothing cozier than the warm glow of a Christmas tree filling a room. Add the scent of a live evergreen, and you’re practically living in a Hallmark movie.
But once the holidays pass and January creeps in, the task of removing your beloved tree awaits. For many, this may seem a solemn duty, signaling the end of a joyous season and the beginning of several holiday-less months ahead. But there is some good news: Instead of throwing your live Christmas tree out with the trash, you can give it new life… as a fish habitat!
You read that right. The tree that’s currently twinkling in your living room could soon be home to native Kentucky species like Smallmouth Bass, Bluegill, and Crappie. Through a program called “Christmas for the Fishes,” the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife (KDFW) collects discarded Christmas trees and sinks them in bodies of water around the state to create fish habitats.
This is needed due to the depleted woody habitat in many of Kentucky’s lakes and reservoirs, especially those in excess of 50 years old, explained Joseph Zimmerman, a fisheries biologist for KDFW.
“The vast majority of lakes in Kentucky have some age on them,” Zimmerman said. “Fish need structure in order for them to feed. They need structure for cover and refuge. Because of the lake age in Kentucky, a lot of that woody debris is broken down or might be covered up in sediment. A lot of our lakes have big winter drawdown – if you go visit some of the lakes in Kentucky during winter, they look like a moonscape. It’s those areas where there is no woody debris on the bottom where we go in and build sites for fisheries.”
Staff at KDFW have been running this program since the 1970s, but volumes have significantly picked up in recent years. Zimmerman said tree donations have skyrocketed from a couple thousand to upwards of 6,000.
Depending on a site’s specific needs, KDFW may place up to 100 trees in one location.
“We’ll place these Christmas trees in areas based on the specific lake management goals,” Zimmerman said. “So, for instance, if we build a habitat site on a large flat in a lake, we may cluster it up real tall to create a ‘reef of Christmas trees’ by placing 50 to 100 trees in one location.”
Once the habitat is placed, KDFW staff can evaluate its success using electrofishing equipment. (At one point, they tried scuba diving, but visibility was too low in Kentucky’s murky lake waters.) Electrofishing is a technique used by fisheries biologists to sample and study fish populations in bodies of freshwater.
“We tend to find out the sites where we cluster 75 to 80 Christmas trees, the more fish they’re going to hold,” he said.
Habitat building is necessary regardless of the “Christmas for the Fishes” program, so having access to already-cut trees is a big advantage from both an environmental and feasibility standpoint.
“This program is an easy way to get a lot of woody material to put in our lakes,” Zimmerman said. “We use Christmas trees because they’re already cut. Otherwise, we would spend a lot of time throughout the year going to areas and collecting trees for fish habitat. It’s a lot for work having to cut your own trees and haul them to the lake.”
The goal? To create a gratifying environment for anglers across the state. KDFW publishes GPS coordinates of these habitats online so that fisherman can easily access them. A list of tree drop-off sites are also available here.
“The angler catch is the end goal,” Zimmerman said. “When you get a phone call or an email from an angler that says they found one of our sites and that they caught a lot of crappie, that’s the rewarding side of the job. A lot of these sites really attract a lot of gamefish. If you create that kind of predator-prey interaction, those will be areas where our anglers can improve their catch.”
Interested in recycling your Christmas tree into a fish habitat?
First, remove any lights, ornaments, or other artificial decorations from your live tree. Then, drop it off at one of the more than 30 sites across the state designated by the KDFW. This year, collection will begin immediately following the holidays and run through Jan. 15. Sites are open during daylight hours only (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and will be unstaffed but clearly marked using signage. The locations are in parks for the most part, so it will be a good opportunity to get out of the house and enjoy a local park while you help fish populations across the state.

Christmas tree safety tips
O, Christmas tree! For many, the luminance of a lush evergreen adorned in twinkling multi-colored lights is a timeless tradition. But did you know that this holiday staple is often a home hazard? Read on for a few hints to help you avoid a tree tragedy in your living room this season:
FIRE HAZARDS
There’s nothing quite like that fresh fir scent filling your home around the holidays. While there’s certainly something magical about decorating a live tree, they do require a little extra upkeep. Did you know a dry tree can catch fire and burn faster than newspaper?
From 2016 to 2020 (the most recent report available), Christmas trees caused an average of 160 home fires, resulting in an average of two deaths, 11 injuries, and $12 million in direct property damage annually, according to the most recent report available from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Heated rooms rapidly dry out live trees, so it’s imperative to keep them fresh and well-watered. Monitor water levels daily, and keep the tree stand filled with water.
Need some quick ways to test the freshness of your tree? A fresh tree is green, the bottom of the trunk is sticky with resin, and needles are hard to pull from branches and do not break when bent between your fingers.
After the holiday is over, get rid of your tree! Dried-out trees are a fire hazard and should not be left in the home, garage or even on the property. Check with your local community to find a recycling program.
PLACEMENT
Make sure your tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles or heat vents. In 25% of Christmas tree fires, a heat source was too close to the tree, according to the NFPA. If possible, it is also advisable to anchor your tree to keep it from tipping over.
KIDS
Try to avoid using sharp or breakable objects as ornaments – but if you do, place them high on the tree, out of reach for youngsters. Decorative, liquid-filled “bubble lights” contain methylene chloride, which can be poisonous if a child drinks the fluid from more than one light (even if labeled nontoxic). In addition, snow sprays contain acetone or methylene chloride. These solvents can be harmful when inhaled. Once the snow spray is dried, it is not dangerous.
PETS
Many aspects of a live tree can also be toxic to pets. Preservatives, pesticides, and fertilizers from the tree farm often seep into the water. Use a covered tree stand to be safe! Homemade salt-dough ornaments can additionally be a tempting treat both two- and four-legged members of your home, but can cause life threatening imbalances in pets. Holly and mistletoe can cause gastrointestinal issues and even cardiovascular problems when ingested, and various lilies that are often found in holiday bouquets can cause kidney failure in cats. Keep in mind that garland and lights pose a strangulation risk – especially for cats who may view this shiny décor as a toy.
LIGHTS
Electrical distribution or lighting equipment is involved in 44% of home Christmas tree fires. To help keep your tree fire-free, be sure to use lights that are listed by a qualified testing laboratory and rated for indoor use. Check new and used lights for broken cords, frayed wiring or loose connections before plugging them in, and always turn off the tree’s lights before going to bed!
So when it comes to holiday safety, make your list, check it twice and enjoy a disaster-free holiday season!

Holiday hazards: 5 tips for outdoor decor
Are you putting lights or other decor on your house for the holidays? More than 86% of Americans decorate their homes as part of their winter holiday celebrations, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, or ESFI. For many, the allure of draping a home in bright, twinkling bulbs and adorning the yard with giant blow-up reindeer is irresistible; but when it comes to holiday decorating, stockings aren’t the only things that should be hung with care. Take extra caution when decorating this season so you can continue to do so for years to come.
- Put preparation before pizzazz.
Take proper steps to ensure your home is ready for the holiday glitz. For instance, clean dried leaves out of gutters before hanging that first string of lights. Hot lights resting on dry leaves can create a fire hazard. Check new and old light strings and decor for things like frayed wires, damaged insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and loose connections. Throw out and replace damaged sets.
- Climb with care.
41% of holiday decorating injuries involve falls, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Inspect ladders for loose or missing screws, hinges, bolts, or nuts before using. If hanging lights or other electric decor, make sure the ladder is fiberglass or wooden, as metal ladders conduct electricity! Also check the ladder’s height–if you’re tiptoeing from the top rung to reach your roof, you’re in danger! To be safe, your ladder should extend at least three feet past the edge of your roof.
- Be bright about lights.
Across the U.S., holiday lights are to blame for 160 home structure fires each year and $9 million in direct property damage, according to ESFI.
Did you know that incandescent bulbs generate most of their energy in heat? Newer, more modern LED lights are much cooler to the touch. LED lights are made with epoxy lenses, not glass, and are much more durable. Additionally, they last 25 times longer and use at least 75 percent less energy than their incandescent counterparts, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
To give mother earth and your electricity bill a bigger break, install an outdoor timer to automatically turn your lights on and off. Oh, and if replacing bulbs or fuses, always unplug first!
- Educate yourself on extension cords.
3,300 residential fires in the U.S. are caused by faulty extension cords each year, resulting in 50 deaths and 270 injuries, according the CPSC. When decking the halls for the holidays, there are more important things to worry about than hiding gawky extension cords from view. Never plug cords into one another, make sure that cords are rated for their intended use, and keep them clear of snow and standing water. Your decor’s power needs should match the amperage rating on the extension cord packaging or label.
- Don’t overwhelm outlets.
Avoid overloading electrical outlets with too many decorations or electrical devices, which can spark a fire. Outdoor electric lights and decorations should be plugged into circuits protected by ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). If circuits are not GFCI-protected, portable outdoor GFCIs can be purchased at most local hardware stores.
During the holiday season, emergency rooms nationwide are flooded with victims of holiday decor gone wrong. During the months of November and December, U.S. hospitals treat an average of 230 injuries per day due to decor mishaps. Please be safe so this season can stay a jolly one!

Super tips for staying safe on game day
Historically, Super Bowl Sunday falls in line as one of America's top drinking days. Remember, it’s illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. Every game day party plan must start with a defense that prevents drunk driving.
In an effort to keep roadways safe, local police often plan to ramp up their patrols and set up an increased amount of DUI checkpoints on Super Bowl Sunday. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "when it comes to drinking and driving, law enforcement doesn’t throw a yellow flag; they throw the book at you. You’ll get pulled over, arrested, and prosecuted." Your wallet takes a big hit, too: the average DUI court case costs thousands of dollars.
If you plan to consume alcohol during the big game this year, make sure to have a plan in play.
- Make arrangements for a designated driver prior to consuming alcohol. Before leaving, make sure your designated driver is actually sober. If he or she decides to drink unexpectedly, call a cab or someone else who you know hasn’t been drinking.
- If a designated driver cannot be secured, staying home is always a safe bet.
- Buckle up! Seatbelts are a great defense against other drivers who will inevitably drink and drive.
- With this year's kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET, most football fans will be returning home far after sundown. Stay alert! The National Sleep Foundation says that drowsy driving can impact driving as much as or more than alcohol. NHTSA reports that drowsy drivers cause more than 100,000 crashes annually, resulting in 40,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths.
If you’re hosting a party, keep these things in mind:
- Know when to cut off a guest. Look for visual signs of impairment. Limit your own alcohol intake in order to determine the impairment level of guests.
- Buffalo dip and beer aren’t the only thing you should serve up! Make sure to also provide alternative travel options. Keep local cab numbers handy, download a driver-on-demand smartphone app, be prepared to shuttle guests home or allow them to stay overnight.
- Offer plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and food.
- Stop serving alcohol well before the end of the game.
On Super Bowl Sunday, we need a team effort to make sure everyone drives sober. Fans don't let fans drive drunk.

LilyBud Farm Market | Carrying on a Family Tradition
Shelby County farmer taking "local food" to new heights.
Lily Roadcap has called her family’s farm home for her entire life having grown up in this small Shelby County community. As such, the fourth-generation farmer has always known she wanted to do something related to agriculture having grown up on a farm that began as a dairy and is now a predominantly cattle and hay operation.
“My family started out raising Ayrshire dairy cattle and now we have a couple of beef cattle herds and hay while still keeping some dairy cows that we show. We also raised tobacco at one time,” she said. “So, the farm has always been a part of my life, and I always knew agriculture was my passion.”.
But the family also has quite a history in the roadside market produce sales with 19-year-old Lily taking years, yes years, of experience in this sector to the next level and keeping a farming tradition alive.
“When I was 13 and wanting a job to have a little extra spending money, not a lot of places would hire someone that young, so I began a roadside market,” she said. “My mom and her brothers used to sell produce at a roadside stand when they were in their teenage years, and she came up with the idea of me starting a garden and selling the extra produce myself. And each year it just kept getting bigger and bigger.”
For a farm family already experienced in selling their produce directly to consumers, the idea of this came somewhat naturally to Lily. From the crop growing to the produce-selling, she has embraced this side of the ag business and is taking it to a new level.
What used to be the old dairy barn on the farm has been many things over the years, but Lily decided it would make a great indoor market and allow her to grow her farm market to include her home-grown produce and much more.
“I'm actually a third-generation member of our family to have a business in this building, including Masters Equipment Company, which was owned and operated by some of my family members after the dairy went out," she said. "And through the years, it's been other things and had sat empty for a decade until I bought it last January and spent the winter getting it ready for the market which opened in April."
Lily said she has always had her eye on the structure and knew this would be the place in which she wanted to expand her business.
“It's exciting to host a business in the same building that my family members did,” she said. “It means a lot to be able to keep the history alive in here. It makes me feel kind of happy that people are shocked that a 19-year-old could run this kind of business.”
The name of “LilyBud” Farm Market is actually the one Lily and her brother use when showing their dairy cows.
“I knew that name already had a bit of a following so we thought it would be a good name for the market,” she said.
The local food perspective
As the old saying about location, location, location being the key ingredient in real estate sales, Lily has found that keeping the business close to the home farm is key to getting the freshest produce to her market.
“During the growing season, most all the produce in the market comes from our farm which is a hop-skip-and jump away, and what we don't raise ourselves, we get supplied from in Shelby County or as close as we possibly can,” she said. “I'm very fortunate to have some nice neighbors who let me use some of their property for gardening, as well.”
Some of the produce grown on the farm includes a large variety of tomatoes, from heirlooms to canning tomatoes, green beans, peppers, sunflowers for cut flower bouquets, turnips, kale, and pumpkins.
"We also sell beef, lamb, and sausage from the farm and we get jams and jellies from the Jam House in Scottsville, Kentucky and chicken salad, pimento cheese, and Benedictine which is made by Cottage Cafe in Middletown, Kentucky,” Lily said.
She said it's important to her to have local foods whether they are from her farm, surrounding operations, or other parts of the state.
“Everything in the market is from this state and I plan to stay open all year and will get produce from farms farther south in the winter months," she said. "There are not many places like this market in our small community, so we are glad to be a part of it. The summer was very busy, and I didn’t expect that, but it has been great and we are excited about it.”
Of course, a busy market needs a lot of help and most of Lily’s help is homegrown, too, including members of her family.
“My family is really pleased with the business that I've grown, and they're also very proud,” she said. “None of it would be possible without them, from getting the picking done and getting it into the store and the planting and all that, it's not a one-person show, that's for sure, and they really are a big help.”
Plans for the future
This young agricultural entrepreneur is certainly not resting on the success she has seen so far but rather planning for growth in the future, something she has done since beginning this venture as a 13-year-old.
“I already have a greenhouse that was gifted to me by a family in Simpsonville, Kentucky and I see a high tunnel in the future, and I hope to keep expanding each year,” she said. “I have a whole back half of the building that is just used for storage right now, but I hope to eventually add a commercial kitchen and do soups, salads, and sandwiches with our products and other local farmer's products and have a little café.”
The future looks bright for Lily and the market, and she gives credit not only to her family but organizations in which she participated in growing up.
“I was very active in 4-H and FFA in school and I’m still involved in my community's 4-H,” she said. “I spend lots of time educating younger children, especially. I always promote these programs and I certainly would not be here without them.”
LilyBud has also become one of the newest members of Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Certified Farm Market Program.
The Farm Bureau is really good about promoting businesses like mine through that program, and I think that's wonderful,” she said. I’m using my Facebook platform and posting what we do on our farm to give people a real insight of the work that goes into it.”
As time has changed on the farm over the years, Lily Roadcap is doing all she can to keep the tradition going taking what she has learned from her family to new heights with her LilyBud Farm Market. But there are still reminders of the farm ‘s past heritage.
“I use our old tobacco setter to plant nearly every crop I have,” she said.
Some things never go out of style.
