For the first time in several decades, the Eldorado National Forest will sell Christmas tree cutting permits.

Permits for pine, fir or cedar trees up to 6 inches in diameter at the base will be available beginning Nov. 14.

Christmas tree permits will be issued with tree tags for $10 each, with a limit of two per family or address. These permits must be purchased in person, are not transferable and are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Fourth-graders who present a valid Every Kid in a Park voucher or pass are entitled to one free Christmas tree permit.
