It's time to start thinking about removing that holiday fire hazard that you call a Christmas Tree and send it off to help baby Salmon. For the last three years, Royal Treatment Fly Fishing has teamed up with the Tualatin Valley chapter of Trout Unlimited and another area fly shop to collect used Christmas Trees to be repurposed for Salmon habitat. This year we hope to make this program an even bigger success and collect even more trees by expanding outside of the fly fishing community. So strap that sucker on the 4runner and bring it down.
We will be collecting trees from 9:00AM until 4:00PM on two dates this year, January 2nd and 9th. Volunteers will be available at the old Fire Station next door to the fly shop to help unload your Christmas tree and send it on its way to help Coho Salmon in coastal estuaries. Please make sure to remove all ornaments, tinsel, candy canes, little twinkly lights and squirrels. We can't take squirrels.
Our address is 21570 Willamette Drive in West Linn, OR. Please call the shop if you have questions. 503.850.4397
A $10.00 donation to help cover the costs of transportation to project sites and other related expenses is requested.
If you do make the trip with your tree, be sure to stop in the shop for coffee and homemade cookies and introduce yourself. Cheers!
