I saw a bunch of fellows preparing to place some Christmas trees at the Lake Mattoon marina today. I didn't see the local DNR official around. There were older fellows that looked like they had placed trees before. I kidded them and told them I was going to use my binoculars and watch where they placed them. I wonder if they had contacted Mattoon city officials and the DNR, or just put the trees out anyway? I would suspect there are a number of trees put out that officials do not know about.
