Cutting our own Christmas tree from the forest is one of our favorite traditions. Each year at the beginning of November the National Forest Service sells Christmas Tree permits. For $5 you are given a permit, map, and some instructions on where and how to cut your own Christmas tree from National Forest Service land. These permits are good from November to December. To find out about cutting a Christmas tree in your area contact your local ranger district. Each ranger district handles the permits differently. Some of the districts have a limited number of permits that go quickly, some will take a mailed check made out to the USDA Forest Service and mail you the permit with instructions, some you must wait in line and purchase the permit in person. To find and contact your local ranger district you can search the Forest Service website at www.fs.fed.us or you can call the Forest Service directly at 202-205-1706.
