Not your usual X-Mas Tree
"Many buy a fresh-cut evergreen for their Christmas tree because they like the smell. But for years there's been a program in Colorado Springs to ruin that smell and keep people from stealing trees from public parks.
The Colorado Springs Parks Department calls the concoction "Scrooge." It's a mixture of fox urine and skunk musk. Parks workers spray it all over city trees that look like potential Christmas trees. "It doesn't smell that bad. I mean it does smell bad," explains David Romero, a City Forestry Supervisor. "But it intensifies when you put it inside a warm room. So, they'll know that they cut a tree that's been 'Scrooged.'" The mixture isn't harmful to wildlife or people, but it sure has reduced illegal tree cutting." http://www.koaa.com/news/view.asp?ID=2956 |
