With 2026 in full swing, Christmas feels like a distant memory, especially if you've put your decorations away.
The Lancashire Wildlife Trust said it received more than 2,000 Christmas trees last year.
The trees are being given a second lease of life by being planted into sand dunes to help boost natural sea defences.
The areas along the Fylde coast have lost more than 80% of its dunes over the past 150 years due to coastal town expansions.
The donated trees are half-buried into the sand with branches poking out to trap sand, forming new sand dunes over time.
These sand dunes act as a natural barrier against storms and tides, providing habitat for unique plants and animals.
Amy Pennington leads the project and highlights the importance of the sand dunes as a soft sea defence for the local community.
