Throw away your Christmas tree the environmental way! Bring your old tree to be fed into the woodchipper. Then, the following week, bring a shovel to the park and “dip” into the free mulch. This Bring One for the Chipper event is sponsored by the Keep Georgia Beautiful campaign and the City of Woodstock Stormwater Department. FREE tree seedlings will be available on 1/9 from 9:00am-4:00pm. Please no flocked, painted, or decorated trees (they poison the waterways). 8:00am to dusk, Olde Rope Mill Park, 690 Olde Rope Mill Park Road, Woodstock. 770-592-6000 x 1709. WoodstockGa.gov
