Caretakers note:
 Every year in early January, the City of Austin invites citizens to bring their used Christmas trees (with tinsel removed) to Zilker Park where it is all mulched with large shredders. The public is invited to come and collect the mulch on a first come first serve basis. Caretakers collected 2 trailer loads.
