For those interested in getting their own Christmas tree from national forests, there's a new and easy way to obtain your permits. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service recently declared that permits for 2023 can now be acquired online via Recreation.gov. This new permitting rule is more convenient compared to the traditional in-person method. Through this website, you can access important information such as maps of designated cutting areas and the types of trees available. However, you will have to print the permit and display it on your vehicle's dashboard when you go out to cut your tree.
Interestingly, even fourth-grade students with an Every Kid Outdoors pass can get a free permit. This online system not only makes the process simpler for permit-seekers but also contributes to the health of the forests by encouraging the thinning of densely populated tree areas.
