Christmas Trees Permits Available Through Umpqua National Forest Today

(UNF) For the very first time on the Umpqua National Forest, the public can now purchase Christmas tree permits online through Recreation.gov. Christmas Tree permits will also be available through any of the vendors listed below beginning Saturday, November 7. Customers can purchase up to five permits per household, at $5.00 each, through December 31, 2020.These permits authorize purchasers to cut their own tree(s) on designated Forest Service lands. Maps identifying these areas, as well as additional rules and information, will be provided by Recreation.gov or vendors at the time of purchase. By offering Christmas tree permit sales through Recreation.gov, the Forest Service is providing visitors an opportunity to purchase and print permits from the convenience of their own homes. Additionally, this option provides an alternative to in-person transactions, as Umpqua National Forest offices remain closed to the public. This year, fourth grade participants in the ‘Every Kid Outdoors’ (formerly Every Kid in the Park) program are authorized to cut one Christmas Tree for free without a tree tag. The child’s EKO Certificate or EKO card will take the place of the tag. It is important to note that both the certificate/card and the fourth-grade student must be present during cutting and transport of the tree. https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm Customers are able to purchase Christmas tree permits through local vendors as well.
