It’s that time of year! Time to shed last year’s decorations so you can make use of your whole living room again before the next consumer holiday. Lucky for us, the City of Halifax has put out a list of how to properly dispose of all things involving your holiday decor including wrapping paper and even the endless pile of toy and gift boxes.
When it comes to your tree however, this can be a gift that keeps on giving. You can make some pretty interesting and nice-smelling household items with pine branches among other crafty ideas suggested by the provincial government on their website here.
Owners of Hatfield farms are letting the public know that Christmas trees make great snacks for goats and other farm animals. Fell trees also make great habitats for small animals, so consider donating your evergreens to a local farm or even Hope for Wildlife which takes in trees for structures and rescued animals.
