Dunbar Cave to host “Trees to Trails” Christmas tree recycling
December 20, 2008 | 
For the past nine years people have been bringing leftover Christmas trees to Dunbar Cave after the holidays. Typically about a 1000 trees are donated each year, although many more can be used. Trees can be brought to the visitors’ center parking lot from December 26th until January 11th from 8:00 am until sunset. The park is open seven days a week. They should be free of tinsel and other decorations.
The trees will be ground into mulch, thanks to CDE volunteers. Christmas tree lots are invited to bring any leftover trees as well. No other types of plants or vegetation are allowed.

“Scrappers” are the millions of men, women and children captivated by this craft.
“People scrapbook for all kinds of reasons and use all kinds of forms,” Miller explains. “Hobbies. Memories. Making gifts. Some people don’t use pictures. instead, they use recipes, or work on tins or boxes.”
Scrap-booking is about history, about documenting lives or events, something that has particular significance given the store’s location just down the road from Fort Campbell.
“For some members of the military who are overseas, scrap-booking is how they see their children grow up, she explained. “The birthdays, the first steps, a summer swim, a Christmas party … the photos in the scrapbook tell the story.” «Read the rest of this article»
