Welcome

​​​​Make the new year a happy one for Kentucky fishes by donating natural Christmas trees to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources “Christmas for the Fishes” tree recycling program. This annual program uses evergreens donated after the holiday season to make underwater fish habitats that fish need to thrive.

“We want to ‘light up’ fishing opportunities by improving fish habitat in 19 public lakes across the commonwealth next year,” said Spencer Phillips, a fish habitat biologist with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “Natural Christmas trees donated through the program will be bundled and dropped in the lakes to provide aquatic cover that fish need to survive and thrive.”​​​
