Louisiana's decades-old Christmas tree recycling program is quietly helping restore thousands of acres of wetlands

Discarded Christmas trees are now rebuilding Louisiana's eroding coastlines. These trees are bundled and flown by helicopter into fragile marsh areas.

The program continues to expand, turning holiday waste into a conservation tool.
