Holiday Trees for Salmon
Still wondering what kind of tree to put your Christmas presents under?
Think about getting a live, potted Western Red Cedar, Sitka Spruce, or Douglas Fir and keeping the tree very moist while it is indoors.
Then, after you decide to remove the decorations, bring your potted tree to the Adopt-A-Stream Foundation’s NW Stream Center located east of I-5 off the 128th Street exit at the south end of Snohomish County’s McCollum Park.
Trees that are in good condition will be put to use restoring vegetation along stream banks in locations not accessible to the public as well as beefing up forest near streams and lakes in Snohomish County Parks where you can see your contribution grow.
For more information contact the stream center at 425-316-8592.
