Christmas tree permits available Nov. 1

Permits to cut Christmas trees on the Carson and Bridgeport ranger districts of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest will be available for purchase beginning Nov. 1.

Christmas tree permits must be purchased in person and are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis for $10 each. Permits are nonrefundable and nontransferable, and are valid through Dec. 25.

Each Christmas tree permit is valid for the cutting of one tree in specific areas on lands managed by the ranger district for which the permit was purchased. A map and cutting rules and regulations will be included with the permit. The permit does not authorize cutting on private, state, or other federal lands. Christmas trees also cannot be harvested within developed campgrounds, administrative sites, or designated wilderness areas.
