Christmas tree permits are now available to purchase at Forest Service offices, several local businesses, and online through: https://www.recreation.gov/.
To purchase a Christmas tree permit online, go to the https://www.recreation.gov/ site and search for the Umpqua National Forest Christmas Tree Permits. It is important to carefully read the overview and need-to-know- information prior to purchasing. Christmas tree permits purchased online must be printed to be valid and can only be used on Umpqua National Forest lands. Christmas tree permits cost $5 each and are limited to one per household. An additional $2.50 fee will be charged for permits purchased through the website.
Traditional Christmas tree permits are still available through UNF offices and a number of local businesses. Participating vendors are open evenings and weekend hours. Traditional permits are valid on UNF land only and do not authorize tree cutting on private, state, or other federally managed lands.
Fourth graders with an Every Kid Outdoors pass are eligible for a free Christmas tree permit and can apply by entering the pass or voucher number when purchasing a permit online. A $2.50 reservation fee will be applied.
