Volunteers spent the morning of Jan. 10 turning more than 200 donated Christmas trees into new fish habitats at Cypress Black Bayou, part of Keep Bossier Beautiful’s annual conservation effort.

Community members and local businesses generously contributed the trees, which were collected and repurposed to provide shelter for young fish. Volunteers arrived early to remove twine and tags, drag the trees down the pier, and secure them with sandbags before loading them onto boats. The trees were then placed in designated fishing areas, where they will serve as protective cover and breeding grounds for fish.

After the work was completed, volunteers enjoyed a lunch sponsored by Keep America Beautiful.

This project highlights Keep Bossier Beautiful’s ongoing mission to creatively reduce, reuse, and recycle materials while engaging community members in meaningful environmental stewardship.
