On behalf of the Seneca Nation Conservation Fish & Wildlife Department, we hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday season.
Once again, we are seeking help from community members as we gear up for the annual Christmas tree collection. Each year our department collects used Christmas trees from community members and leftover inventory from local businesses, in an effort to help us restore fish habitat throughout the Allegany Territory.
The Department will attach the trees to existing fish structures and create new structures as supplies allow. The structures will sit on the bottom and will provide shelter and food for bait fish, food for predatory fish and spawning beds for other species.
How to donate your tree: Drop it off at the Conservation Office located in Jimersontown or call us and we can do on territory curbside pickup!
For more information or to volunteer – please call or email us at: (716) 945-8155 or conservation@sni.org.
