Gilbert: Collecting Christmas Trees for A Good Cause Soon your old Christmas tree could be sleeping with the fishes. Gilbert has partnered with the Arizona Game and Fish Department to collect old Christmas trees and create a new home for the fish in Roosevelt Lake. The town hopes to collect 600 live Christmas trees at drop-off locations around the community to be hauled off to Roosevelt Lake, tied to a cinder block and dropped into the water at select locations in the lake.
