Volunteers have rebuilt 90 metres of vanishing sand dunes on a beach in Lancashire by burying tens of thousands of Christmas trees.
Some stick out of the sand in plain sight, others are buried underneath metres of dunes.
Mickey Carroll looks at an innovative way of dealing with the unwanted trees.

Disposing of old Christmas trees, protecting coastal areas, habitat for wildlife, exercise and camaraderie for volunteers... this is a win-win-win-win situation and major congrats to the organizers and volunteers for making this happen. It's great to see people care about their local areas in sustainable and friendly ways. Lefties and Righties should be united in supporting projects like this.

In forestry management systems trees are thinned out as they grow in planted rows just like a gardener thins out seedlings in a nursery bed. Christmas trees are used as such but would be disposed as mulch if there was not a christmas tree market for these young trees. Nobel pine has come into use as a purposely grown christmas tree and has no other use other than as a christmas tree but most other christmas trees are a byproduct as thinnings from the forestry management system. This system bears little resemblance to the growing of native hardwoods on nature reserves for environmental purposes and allowing them to reach full maturity and natural death and decay as habitats for wildlife. @@nicolaswartick276

I was doing this with the Cardiff Countryside Conservation Volunteers way back in the late 1970's, along the Gower coast. The old trees catch the sand, thus stabilizing the dunes &, a year or so later we'd return to plant out Marram grass to add further, more permanent stability. This could, of course, be the reason we never hear of coastal erosion destroying clifftop housing on the West Coast of Wales; which actually gets far worse weather from the Atlantic than places like Norfolk, where residents appear to believe "Someone Else" is always responsible for their security. I suppose it's better late than never for the East coast, but it DOES require individuals getting off their complacent arses & actually going out to Volunteer

I live in a beach town in Florida. Every year the Boy scout troop for our neighborhood used to put fliers out for a certain day to put your Christmas tree on the curb and they would come by and collect them all. The entire neighborhood! It had to be so many trees. They would then help add them to the beach for the sand dunes. It was a great project and I hope they still do it. ( This was when I was young in the 80's, my brother was part of the boy scouts)

Surfside, one of many beaches on Galveston Island, Texas, began doing this in the late 1970s. Other beaches up and down the island, as well as all along the Texas coast, have been utilizing spent Christmas trees for protection against beach erosion, due to frequent tropical storms and devastating hurricanes, ever since. The Surfside project was a success, and the idea was adopted for other coastal regions of the nation as well.

Keeping in mind that most Christmas trees are actually grown on farms (it's a great way to maintain agricultural zoning), this doesn't cause deforestation, but it does provide valuable support for coastlines. These kinds of volunteer projects can accomplish a great deal. Plus, the end result is much more attractive to the local residents than some big stone or concrete sea walls would be.

What an intriguing and unique topic! Burying Christmas trees on a beach like Blackpool's could be part of an innovative environmental project. It's fascinating to think about how this action might help with beach erosion or create new habitats for wildlife. The idea of reusing Christmas trees in such a creative and beneficial way is really inspiring. It's always great to see how we can give new life to things that are often just discarded. Plus, the thought of Christmas trees finding a new purpose by the sea adds a bit of whimsy to environmental conservation! 🌊🎄✨

Burying not planting, but a fantastic project, good work and well done all involved.

For the same reason they're buried on Cape Cod (National Seashore), to prevent sand erosion.

We must stamp down on this fly tipping . Old Christmas trees can be made into wood chips and Ikea furniture which can then be dumped on the beach and by the side of the road.

And it keeps the police busy because they can arrest the upcycler who dares to take things away from flytip zones

They are planted along different areas of the sand every year. It is a natural way to boost sea defences & to stop the sand washing away too quickly.. I have always thought real Christmas trees should be sold with their roots on to encourage more planting (in appropriate places) Britain is rapidly turning into a concrete jungle.

@@emmsue1053 I won't deny the strange compulsion of turning the natural into artificial. Urban areas in Britain are a concrete Jungle already but at least we preserve the green belts... for now

The branches of the trees catch sand grains and act as a scaffold to create an embryo dune, multiple embryo dunes become a dune. Twice a week local volunteers ( this is once a year volunteer event) plant marram and lime grass around the tree to catch more sand, their roots give the dune structure and add nutrients, then fence them off to prevent damage from walkers. They also plant more trees across the dunes up to Lytham about 3 miles away, litter pick, remove invasive plants, build and maintain slacks for wildlife, fix fences, cut and rake grass on the reserve across the road, plant other native plants and protect endangered native plants and wildlife. Salt completely kills and rot the trees away within two years. Woodchip would do nothing. They’re normally incinerated. This was first done at St Annes nearly two decades ago and it’s been done around the Britain for over sixty years. We know what we’re doing.

This is fantastic. Hopefully it is adopted by others to help their coastlines.

I had an Aunt who lived near Fleetwood she took her dogs to this beach for years in the 70s and 80s she lost three dogs to cancer and it started at the paws, rumours were with the vet that this beach is radioactive from Sellafield after losing the third dog she never walked her dogs on any beach along the Fylde coast line, her last two dogs died of natural causes.

About 39 years ago I worked with a fellow electrician that had previously worked at Sellafield. He said that there were plenty of leaks that nobody got to know about. Sorry to hear about the doggy dudes.
