A total of 364 Christmas trees were recycled at various locations around St. Johns County for the Parks and Recreation Department’s 3rd Annual Tree-Cycling Program. Held over five days in January, the program accepted decoration-free trees at Al Wilke Park in Hastings, St. Johns Golf Club in Elkton, Ron Parker Park in St. Augustine Beach, Cornerstone Park in Ponte Vedra, and Mills Field in St. Johns. The nearly 400 trees will be chipped and the resulting mulch will be spread around county parks.
