Christmas Tree & Mushroom Permits
Christmas Tree Permits
The Shasta-Trinity National Forest begins selling Christmas tree permits on November 1 each year. For many local families, the search for and selection of your own Christmas tree in the forest is a wonderful experience and tradition.
The majority purchased the week of Thanksgiving. We ask the public to please purchase your permit early to avoid long lines. Permits may also be purchased through the mail by sending in the Christmas Tree Permit Application and payment to the Forest Headquarters Office in Redding. Mail in permit requests should be postmarked no later than December 9 to ensure enough time for mailing and processing.
Please note that the California Welcome Center in Anderson will not be selling permits this year due to changes in staffing.
Each permit costs $10, there is a limit of one tree per household and they are valid through December 25. Forest Service offices accept credit cards, cash, or checks made out to: USDA Forest Service.
