If you’ve still got a dead Christmas tree scattering pine needles all
over your living room, you can kill two birds with one stone in the
giving season by having a charity pick it up for a small fee.
A Team Justice League, a local nonprofit that advocates for the
alter-abled, is picking up Christmas Trees for a fee of $10. Donations
will go towards “A sensory gym for Lane County,” organizer Amy
Rayfield says.
“A gym would allow kids to come in and experience things on their
terms and learn how to regulate their system over time,” Rayfield
says. “Our gym would have not only trampolines and swings, but
calming areas with low lights,” which would allow patrons with all
kinds of needs to enjoy the planned facility.
The trees will be taken directly from your front yard. “We’ve been
in touch with one of our parents who owns a farm with goats, and
actually goats like Christmas trees.” Trees that don’t become goat
feed will be given to Lane Forest Products, which takes them for a
small fee, according to Rayfield.
A Team Justice League is picking trees up on Saturday, Jan. 7, 10
am-4 pm, in your front yard. Call Amy Rayfield at 870-5487 or Nancy
Berge at 606-7175 to schedule a pickup. — Kelly Kenoyer
