The Bossier Parish Police Jury, in partnership with Keep Bossier Beautiful (KBB), will collect Christmas trees at local parks to benefit the environment.
Beginning today, through Jan. 9, 2025, KBB will accept undecorated live trees at these 6 parks in Bossier Parish:
● Parks Rd. Boat Launch
● Brownlee Park
● South Bossier Park
● Tall Timbers Gravel Lot
● Lake Catherine Boat Launch (Teague Parkway)
● Mike Wood Park
Lynn Bryan, Executive Director of KBB says the collected trees will go to support the local fish habitat. She says sinking a tree in a body of water can create a fish habitat by providing shelter, attracting fish, and becoming a food source for the aquatic ecosystem.
Volunteers are needed to help sink the trees on Jan. 18 from 9am to 12pm. Visit www.keepbossierbeautiful.com to learn more and sign up. This is the second year of the event.
