DONATE TREES

​

You Make Our Rescue Animals Happy with TREES!

 

Happy New Year!

Thank you for your 2025 Holiday trees

​

​

Is your tree a u-cut, organic, or from a small farmstand?. You can bring your undecorated tree to the meadow at Unity Farm Sanctuary. If you have purchased your fir tree from one of the larger box store, please do not bring your tree to the animals - the bigger stores use fire retardants and preservatives that make the animals ill.

 

Be eco! Don't drive your tree an hour away...Please recycle your tree local to your home with a town composting program, or leave your tree in the backyard as an excellent wildlife/bird windbreak and habitat.

​

Remember: no box-store trees, pleeze pleeze no tinsel, no plastics, no garbage, no light strands, no ornaments, no wreaths, no tree stands. Our rescues can't eat spruce. We appreciate your help with this.

​

We will accept trees up to the end of January.

​

Have a fantastic 2026. 🌲

​

​

For drop off:

  • There are signs in our meadow that clearly mark where to leave your tree. 

  • We are unable to pick up trees, sorry. We cannot take in bulk trees.

  • Trees should still be green and lively - no trees please where all the needles fall off as you put them on your vehicle  because no one here can eat that.

  • Please do not bring your big pine branches that have fallen in your yard.

  • No wreaths/roping garlands with twine and wire.

  • None of the rescues can consume umbrella pine, blue spruce and spruce, too prickly!

  • Trees should be whole (or perhaps cut in half). Please don't bring the tree in a bag with all the branches removed from the trunk. 

  • No trees with tinsel, light strands, decorations or spray flocking of course. 

  • PLEASE don't bring a tree from a big box store, their growers might use flame retardants, colorants and preservative sprays toxic to the animals. Here is why we are so picky

  • Pesticides are applied to trees very early in the growing season so are mostly no longer present in the tree - but that being said, organic trees are better for the environment. An artificial tree lasts in a landfill for an extremely long time unfortunately.

​

You may enjoy viewing the goats and Maxine the Llama at the parking lot, but please don't walk into the main animal area (signs are clear) unless on a tour, or as a trained volunteer (there are clear signs there). Sanctuary Tours resume in March! We also have 4.5 miles of public walking trails in our woods, dawn to dusk.

​

If you loved meeting the goats and the gang, enjoy our 24/7 live webcams!

Thank you for bringing us your trees!
