Every January for the past 20 years, thousands of Louisiana residents have also sent their discarded Christmas trees down to the wetlands to join the battle.
Christmas tree recycling started as a state-funded program in Louisiana in 1990. The trees are used to make barriers that prevent erosion and help limit the impacts of wave action.
Yours truly will be presenting “Your Homemade Wilderness” at two locations on Saturday, Jan. 8. These events are free and open to the public, courtesy of Wild Ones—Native Plants, Natural Landscapes.

At this time of the year when blossoms and leaves lose all meaning, fine stonework remains steadfast and striking. If you have an appreciation for this traditional art, then I direct your attention to a site by Sunny Wieler, landscaper, stonemason. Two of my favorite photo articles: stone seating and a stone river.
I photographed the stone bench seen above during my visit to the New England Wildflower Society’s Garden in the Woods last summer. ~ JB
