December 8, 1922: Be Careful In Gathering Your Christmas Greens - Democratic Advocate

Be Careful In Gathering Your Christmas Greens


This is the season of the year when property owners, especially along the highways, should exercise the utmost vigilance in protecting their evergreens, holly, running pine, laurel and the like.

The gathering of Christmas greens became such a serious matter, because of vandalism practiced, that the Legislature of 1918 enacted a special law covering the subject.

This law makes it a misdemeanor, with a fine of $25.00 or 90 days imprisonment, or both, to remove, injure, or destroy any trees or shrubs, without the written consent of the owner, or except under his personal direction.

The State Board of Forestry is cooperating with land owners in the enforcement of this law, and will be glad to furnish, without charge, suitable posters for the protection of property to any who may desire them.

[Democratic Advocate, December 8, 1922. 19221208]
