Christmas Tree Permits

Christmas tree permits are available every holiday season, allowing visitors to find and cut their own Christmas tree on the Willamette National Forest. Permits are available online at Recreation.gov or from one of the Willamette National Forest offices.

Cutting trees in some areas of the Willamette National Forest is prohibited; tree hunters should check maps prior to selecting their tree and remain outside of any of the closed areas.   

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. Trees can be as tall as 15 feet.
