Christmas Tree

The US Forest Service has begun issuing permits to cut Christmas trees on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests. Each permit costs $10 and allows for one tree to be cut on National Forest System Lands.  Trees taken with permits must be for personal use and not for resale...

Hundreds of onlookers and a media horde descended on Albert Asendorf's front yard in Gardiner, N.Y. Wednesday morning to watch his 80-year-old, 10-ton tree come down.

Officials with the U.S. Forest Service say that although personal use firewood permits are very popular right now, they are not the only forest product permit offered.

Permits to cut your own tree available

Christmas tree permits are now available at all Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest offices in Colorado and Wyoming.
