Bring home a tree from the Willamette National Forest this holiday season
Springfield, OR (Nov. 2, 2018) -- It is the most wonderful time of the year to visit your national forest and find the perfect holiday tree for your home. Christmas tree permits are available at our Springfield Interagency Office, Detroit, McKenzie River, Sweet Home and Middle Fork ranger stations, as well as the provided list of vendors.
Visitors can purchase permits and receive maps of cutting areas at all our offices on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the exception of Thanksgiving, November 22, when offices are closed. Christmas tree tags will be available at district offices and vendors beginning November 13. Additionally, the Middle Fork Ranger District in Westfir will be open 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on November 23-25; December 1 and 2; and December 8 and 9. Smokey Bear will make a special appearance the weekends of December 1-2 and 8-9.
Permits are $5.00 each. They allow the holder to cut one tree in designated areas; each household can purchase up to a maximum of five permits.
As part of the national Every Kid in a Park initiative, the U.S. Forest Service is excited to announce that all fourth graders are eligible for a free holiday tree permit from their local national forest. In order for students to receive a free tree permit, they must present a valid paper voucher printed from the Every Kid in a Park website at a Forest Service ranger station or office. Visit the Every Kid in a Park website at www.everykidinapark.gov for more information.
Holiday enthusiasts looking for the perfect tree will also be able to purchase permits from the following local vendors. Please note: Every Kid in a Park tree permits are only available at Forest Service offices, not from local vendors.
