(Helena)- Christmas season is approaching rapidly, and there is a great opportunity to find the perfect Christmas Tree.
The Forest Service will be providing Christmas tree permits.
Forest Supervisor Emily Platt said, “the Christmas tree permit provides local communities a fun way to create adventures and family traditions on their local forest. For safety we advise folks to ensure they have winter essentials in their car such as chains, a shovel, extra blankets and food and check local weather reports before heading out.”
Christmas tree permits can be obtained online or at your local ranger district through December 31st. Permits cost 5 dollars, and are good forest-wide except at cabins, campgrounds, picnic areas, trailheads, wilderness areas, natural landmarks, active timber sales, and areas where trees have been planted for reforestation purposes.
