Green Valley Christmas Trees® is the leading supplier of real Christmas trees in the nation, and as such, they are also the experts when it comes to re-using these beautiful works of nature. When artificial Christmas trees were first manufactured one of the big promotional points used was that live trees would not have to be cut down for our short term enjoyment of the holiday season, and therefore, the faux trees were kinder to the environment. The reality is that nothing could be farther from the truth because artificial trees, which are primarily manufactured in China, are a petroleum-based product. Their maximum lifespan is 6 – 9 years, but they will be in a landfill for centuries. Live Christmas trees are kind to the environment during their growing years and they can be extremely useful if recycled.

February, 2010 – Green Valley Christmas Trees® is the leading provider of first quality real Christmas trees in the nation and it has never taken that role lightly. This company strives for quality in every way, including being kind to the environment. The live Christmas tree farms are actually beautiful places that add to the splendor of the land because they create scenic green belts. The trees help to stabilize the soil of the area because they are in fact, grown on soil that does not support other crops. As the real Christmas trees are growing they help to support life by absorbing carbon dioxide and other gases and emitting fresh oxygen. And as expected, these luxurious fields of trees provide refuge for birds and other wildlife.

When a real Christmas tree is used to adorn our home for the holiday season something magical happens. Not only do we enjoy the sight, but we also enjoy the smell and feel of the live tree. This seems to fill the room if not the entire home with the fragrance and feel of Christmas. But afterward, we are left with a tree that must be disposed of. Unlike artificial trees, real trees are biodegradable, which makes them ideal for mulch. Many cities across the nation offer a free pick up service for discarded trees in order to use them in innovative ways.

Some parks are using the needles and mulch to line the pathways and many zoos have uses for the mulch. It has also been found that fishing can be improved by depositing discarded Christmas trees into ponds and lakes. The trees provide a habitat for the fish to hide in and to find food in.

Real Christmas trees have been recycled to create sand fences, which help keep the beaches from washing away. This helps to protect the delicate ecosystem. Tree fencing has also been used to protect the wetlands of Louisiana against erosion. In Illinois, discarded Christmas trees have been used to create nesting structures for herons and in Indiana, trees have been used to provide cover for birds, chipmunks, and other small wild animals in a rehabilitation site. In Burlington, Vermont, trees are even used to generate electricity.
