Recycled Christmas Trees In New Orleans Protect Wildlife And Residents

The video discusses the transformation of the Bayou Savage National Wildlife Refuge in New Orleans over 20 years, highlighting the role of Dixon, the refuge manager, and the annual tree drop initiative.

The program's success has inspired similar initiatives in other parts of Louisiana.
