 Calcasieu and Cameron
Parish Police Juries have joined together to do the
14th annual Christmas Tree Recycling
Project. Both of the projects in Calcasieu and
Cameron Parishes will consist of replenishing the
existing Christmas tree pens with the thousands of
trees that we collect. This year we will be using
10,000 trees to complete our 3 project sites. We
collect approximately 4,000-5,000 Christmas trees in
Calcasieu & Cameron; therefore, we are also
receiving trees from Baton Rouge and Alexandria.
The Parish has made it very convenient for the
public to drop off their clean (no flocked) tree at
one of the 19 following locations or put their tree
at the curb for curbside pickup (Lake Charles only). This project is just one of the
ways Calcasieu Parish is assisting the state in
coastal erosion efforts to save Louisiana.

Calcasieu Parish’s
project sites are located east of the Ellender
Bridge and in Turner’s Bay. We will be placing
approximately 3,000 Christmas trees in the existing
brush fences at the Ellender Bridge site and 2000
trees at the Turner’s Bay site. Unlike the fences
at Cypress Point (Prien Lake), the two sites this
year cannot been seen from the land.
