Ridgewood NJ, received this the other day from a reader its from Texas A&M Forest Services with some ideas on what to do with used Christmas Trees :
Many Americans love the experience of having real Christmas trees in their homes for the holidays. But what many don’t realize is producing real Christmas trees also benefits the environment by sequestering carbon while growing and supporting local businesses and tree farmers.

Ridgewood NJ, Mark your calendars for the annual traditional Ridgewood Tree Lighting Celebration.
But first Ridgewood Needs a tree. The village doesn’t have a Christmas tree., and not just any tree. Ridgewood’s Christmas tree is typically 50 to 75 feet tall. It usually comes from somewhere in the greater Ridgewood area. Downes Tree Service has offered to cut, transport, place and trim the tree for free. The tree will even get a police escort to its home at the end of East Ridgewood Avenue.

Ridgewood Christmas tree honors fallen Waldwick police officer

THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Ridgewood’s Christmas tree will be lit this Friday at 8 p.m., as tradition dictates.
Adding to the tradition this year is a particularly special, and seasonally appropriate, gesture.
The tree was taken from the Midland Park home of the uncle and aunt of Waldwick Police Officer Christopher Goodell, who was 32 years old and engaged to be married when he lost his life this past summer in a tragic car accident while he was on the job.
The tree is meant to honor the beloved police officer, ringing in the true meaning of the season.
In the same spirit, the Goodell family has been invited by the village to help light the tree on Friday night.
