IN SPITE OF THE BITTER COLD ON SATURDAY...
Hendersonville Public Works, Henderson County Parks and Receration, MountainTrue and Kings Hardware hosted the annual Christmas tree mulching event at Jackson Park Saturday.
Residents dropped off trees to be recycled as mulch during the day. The mulcher was provided by King Hardware and Rental with city and county personnel overseeing the work.
About 350 trees were taken, about half of the 700 taken last year.
Christmas lights and gift cards also were taken for recycling. The lights were to be recycled by the Henderson County Cooperative Extension as a 4-H Project.
