These structures attract sportfish as they offer opportunistic feeding opportunities. The donated trees help restore woody structures that have previously decayed in lakes.
The donated trees are anchored to environmentally-friendly weights and submerged at various depths in lakes and reservoirs across the commonwealth. The new habitats support local fish populations, which in turn benefits anglers heading out to fish on Kentucky waterways.
KFW will accept evergreen trees from December 26 through January 16 at 37 drop-off locations across the state. The trees must be real and should be free of lights, garland, and decorations. Visit the program page on fw.ky.gov for more information.
