Klamath Basin residents are invited to bring undecorated Christmas trees to the Klamath County Fairgrounds parking lot on Saturday, January 8, from 8 a.m. to noon, to be chipped by Absolute Tree Care Service in exchange for any donation to Friends of the Children – Klamath Basin.
“By offering this service we hope to encourage environmentally-friendly tree disposal as well as community support for an organization that does so much for kids in the Klamath Basin,” said Rick Spicher, owner of Absolute Tree Care Service.
