The Parks & Recreation Division offers a Christmas Tree drop-off site for City of Traverse City residents.

Trees are chipped and used for trail surfacing, mulching materials and erosion control.

Bring trees to the boat launch parking lot at Hull Park at the west end of Hannah Street, just west of Woodmere Avenue beginning Tuesday December 26, 2017 through Sunday January 21, 2018.
