TIL about Nome National Forest, a temporary forest in Alaska made up of used Christmas trees. The trees are collected after Christmas and ‘replanted’ on an ice sheet near the town to be an attraction for locals. In the Spring, the trees are then used to make fish spawning habitats in local rivers.

Used trees from the lower 48 are also apparently shipped to Nome to be replanted and then reused, too.
