Recycle Your Live Christmas Trees at Bridal Cave!

Christmas is over and the holiday season is wrapping up. If you put up a live Christmas tree this year, what do you plan to do with it once you take it down? Have you thought about recycling your old Christmas tree? Our family attraction at the Lake of the Ozarks is the official place to recycling your live Christmas tree once you take it down for the season. Read on to get all of the details!

 

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!

Bridal Cave & Thunder Mountain Park will once again be accepting your old Christmas trees once you are done with them. Instead of throwing them away, bring them to us and we will repurpose them into a wonderful home for the many fish that live in the Lake of the Ozarks.

This is a wonderful opportunity to teach young children about the importance of recycling and show them how they can easily help to improve the world around them. Recycling your old Christmas trees in this way keeps them from being discarded along our roadways, plus it offers much-needed cover for our lake area fish.

Fish of all sizes are attracted to the trees for a variety of reasons. They enjoy eating the aquatic insects that will make a home in the tree branches, and these sunken trees also offer small fish a great hiding place from the bigger fish. Knowing that fish will be congregating in the areas where the trees are placed, this makes it a great spot for you to catch fish too.

Drop off Your Trees at Bridal Cave! 

We are excited to help recycle your Christmas trees again this year and we want to make it as easy as possible for you. We'll be taking them and placing them in the Niangua Arm of the Lake of the Ozarks. Simply drop off your old tree with all of the decorations removed, and we'll take care of the rest. We will be closed on New Year’s Day.

Steve Thompson, General Manager of the park, stated, "It seemed like an ideal opportunity to help recycle the old Christmas trees as we have the room on our parking facility to collect the discarded trees, are located right on the lake, and have the shoreline to place the beds."

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

Image
The most scenic cave tour in Missouri is surrounded by the natural beauty of Thunder Mountain Park .  This incredible Lake of the Ozarks attraction  covers hundreds of acres.  It spreads over more than a mile of Lake of the Ozraks shoreline, a mile of highway frontage along Old Missouri Route 5, and all the acreage in between.  That is a lot of nature to be explored! Establishing the park Thunder Mountain Park was established in 1950 in order to protect the caves within it.  The amazing colors and incredible onyx formations inside of Bridal Cave  are all formed by minerals from rain water that seeps into the ground. This is a process called deposition.  Preserving the natural state of the park above the cave prevents any changes to the surface area, which could have a detrimental impact on the deposition process.  Protecting the surface area protects the water quality, which in turn protects the cave.     Aerial view of Thunder Mountain before 1950 A unique, rural attra

Stalactites & Stalagmites - Which is Which?

Image
Caves in Missouri , as well as around the world, are filled with stalactites and stalagmites.  Everyone has heard of these, but most people have trouble remembering which is which.  Today's Bridal Cave blog will hopefully help you to remember once and for all which one hangs from the ceiling and which one hangs from the floor.  We'll even teach you some interesting facts about how both are formed.   There are a couple of different ways that people use to help them keep these two types of formations straight.  Stalactites are fixed "tight" to the ceiling, and stalagmites "might" trip you when you walk.  Another trick is to use the spelling. StalaCtite has a "C" like the Ceiling from which it hangs, and stalaGmites have a "G" like the Ground they grow on.  You may think these ideas sound corny, but we bet at least one of them will stick with you and you will always remember!
