Kentucky collected around 5,000 discarded Christmas trees in 2026 to restore underwater habitats in its ageing lakes. As part of the state's 'Christmas for the Fishes' programme, approximately 1,700 trees were submerged in Boltz Lake alone. The trees provide shelter and feeding areas for fish, replacing natural structures that have decayed over time. The initiative also helps improve recreational fishing opportunities.
