The University of Illinois Extension Office is offering some ideas about what to do with your Christmas tree after the Holidays. If you don’t have a tree pickup program in your area, try to recycle it says Extension Educator Katie Parker. She says the pine needles and boughs can be used as ground covering to protect plants. You can also chop up the trunk and use the pieces for anything from coasters to garden edging, or place the whole tree outside in a stand and fill it with goodies and feeders for birds.
