Millwood Tri-Lakes accepting discarded Christmas tree donations

Complete your gift giving by donating your discarded Christmas tree for fish cover at Millwood Tri-Lakes.

To donate, take your old Christmas tree to the following location: any public boat ramp on Millwood Tri-Lakes. Deposit trees to the side of the ramp, being careful not to block ramp access or parking areas.

All trees must be real, not artificial and free of ornaments and tinsel to prevent harm to fish. Trees will be available for anyone interested in using them to provide shelter for fish and serve as attractors for recreational fishing.

Anyone wanting to use the trees are welcome to pick them up to sink as fish cover, but it must be done with natural rock. Trees must also not be sunk in any areas that could create potential boating hazards.

Any unclaimed trees will be sunk by the USACE or Arkansas Game and Fish personnel later.
