Christmas for Coho tree collection day one

By Michael Ellis  

The first day of tree collection went really well this year. Due to the hard work of the Christmas for Coho committee and our great volunteer workforce we collected over 200 trees at the two sites! We filled three 40 yard dumpsters with trees which will be hauled to the coast this coming week for us by Recology Oregon.

The first tree of the day at Northwest Fly Fishing Outfitters was brought by Doug Hunt (r) of the Association of Northwest Steelheaders shown here with TVTU member Doug Ray

After visiting Neitzel Farms, we proceeded on to the North Coast Land Conservancy's Circle Creek site. Our chapter provided funds, through a Trout Unlimited Embrace a Stream grant, to design, engineer and and permit this work.
