Colorado Springs parks officials removed decorations from the tree Monday and are in the process of returning items to their owners.
Colorado Springs parks officials have stripped Christmas decorations from a tree at the summit of the Manitou Incline, saying the ornaments hung by members of the public pose a threat to local wildlife.
“As beautiful as they are, ornaments are made of plastic, which is an environmental toxin, and when they fly off in the wind, they become litter,” the message reads in part. “Lights disorient birds and other wildlife and create an entanglement risk. Lights are also a fire hazard, even in the winter.”the city said personal items removed from the tree Monday are in the process of being returned to their owners.
