PHOTO BY CRAIG F. EISENBEIS per household. Keep in mind that a Forest Service permit is valid only on Forest Service lands, so tree hunters must be certain that the selected tree is not on private land. If unsure, it is a good idea to have a Forest Service map that clearly shows forest boundaries. Trees selected for cutting must be at least 200 feet from state highways, picnic areas, campgrounds, or other developed sites. Trees within 300 feet of streams and lakes are also off limits. Other guidelines include selecting a tree that is no more than 12 feet tall; trees taller than 12 feet require a special permit. The tree to be cut must also be within 15 feet of another tree; so, if the tree is standing alone in an open space, find another tree. Complete copies of Christmas tree hunting guidelines and regulations can be obtained online and wherever tree permits are sold. Finally, be sure that your Christmas tree hunt is a safe one and be properly equipped. Remember to bring a hand saw or axe, along with winter clothing and safety equipment. Tire chains and a shovel are recommended, as are extra food, drinking water, blankets, a flashlight, first-aid kit and survival gear. Tree cutting and travel can take longer than antici- pated, so notify friends or family of your des- tination and return time. Be sure to leave the woods well before dark. Also, keep in mind that children have a tendency to wander off, so keep a close eye on children while in the woods. If you travel any significant distance from your vehicle, you should be prepared for outdoor winter travel; and remember that winter weather conditions can change rapidly. Nelson-Dean hopes that people will take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the local National Forests. <We hope everyone, whether it is with family or friends, has a fun day recreating on the National Forest, picking out a special tree, and bringing home some holiday cheer this year,= she said.
