SUAMICO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Christmas has come and gone and if you’re looking for an environmentally-friendly way to get rid of your tree, the NEW Zoo in Suamico has a solution.
Rather than placing your tree curbside or burning it, the zoo says the animals will put them to good use.
To donate your used Christmas tree to the zoo, send them a Facebook message or email them at volunteer@newzoo.org. Zoo officials will then send you specific instructions.
The trees must be free of decorations and tinsel.
The zoo is also requiring donations to be purchased locally after invasive species were found on evergreen products sold at large retail stores such as Menards, Pick n Save, Home Depot, Kmart and Stein.
