A few days ago we put out an appeal to local residents to give us their Christmas trees, rather than throwing them out. For the past three days I've been driving around the area collecting them in. There have also been lots of trees dropped off by people at the Whinnies Community Garden car park. We have had so many trees given to us that we have had to branch out from the original plan of giving them to the goats to eat the twigs and bark. Instead we turned over a new leaf and have been chopping the branches off some of the trees which we will shred and use for bedding. The goats are enjoying the trees as well but once they have eaten the bark and twigs, they will be chopped up and used as firewood next year. So, a treemendous response to our appeal and the goats especially are very happy!
