A family or community Christmas tree hunt in the National
Forest can be a great way to enjoy an outing free of COVID restrictions.

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.
