Donate Your Christmas Tree!

Seasonal enrichment is one of the IEAS animals' favorite things, and it's time for the Christmas season to bring trees to the animals! In the next few weeks, staff at the Sanctuary is hoping to provide YOUR Christmas trees as enrichment for the animal residents of IEAS. The big cats love to pounce on, throw, and destroy these prickly evergreen toys, while smaller cats prefer to sniff and rub all over them, letting the needles comb through their fur. The bears, on the other hand, prefer to use these piney limbs as bedding in their caves!



Once your ornaments come down, your tree can make someone else's Christmas complete! 

*******

You can drop your Christmas tree off at the Sanctuary (located in Boyd, TX - click HERE for directions).
-OR-

If you live in the area, we'll pick it up!

We will be doing three days of tree pick ups: 
Tuesday, December 30th
 Friday January 2nd
Tuesday, January 6th. 

If you'd like your tree picked up, send us a message on Facebook (click here to visit our page) telling us which day you'd like it picked up and your address. 


We will be picking up your tree sometime between 8 AM and 3 PM. 
Your tree must be out by the curb, free of ornaments, and taken out of the tree stand

Unfortunately, if we can't find your house, we may miss your tree! 
We apologize in advance if this happens!

We've had so many generous people donate their Christmas trees in the past few years, and we can't wait for this year's donations! Thank you in advance, and Merry Christmas!
