The Borough of Avalon will collect Christmas trees for the goats also known as the “Chew Crew” that has been feasting on the knotweed in Avalon Park for the past two summers. Christmas trees are another favorite treat for goats, as the trees have properties that boost a healthy digestive system. The goats will consume the pine needles and the tree bark. After the trees are stripped, they will be chipped, and used as mulch, which is a fast way to replenish nutrients back to the earth. So, bring your Concolor Fir, Fraser, or Blue Spruce to the Avalon Park and Pool Parking Lot, and our goat friends will pick up the trees. Please ensure that trees are free of tinsel and ornaments and haven’t been treated with chemicals to enhance the color. We cannot accept any wreaths or garland because they contain wires.
Avalon Borough will be celebrating its 150 year anniversary in 2025! We need help from residents to make this event special. If you have historical photos, artifacts, or stories about Avalon that you would like to share, we would love to talk to you. We also encourage any resident who is interested in planning the celebratory event to contact us! Please email Council Member Beth Mosley if you're interested. We hope to hear from you soon!
