To be suitable for fish attractor projects, trees should be free of decorations. Please remove all tinsel, ornaments, lights, garland, stands and plastic bags from the tree. Artificial or flocked trees (with artificial snow) cannot be accepted because they pose a hazard to wildlife. Loose limbs that have been pruned from trees or used for making garlands also cannot be accepted.
