Christmas tree permits are still available for the Umpqua National Forest.
A UNF release said the permits can be purchased at Forest Service offices, a number of local businesses, and online through: https://www.recreation.gov/
To purchase a Christmas tree permit online, go to the website and search for Umpqua National Forest Christmas Tree Permits. Residents should 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 UNF lands. Christmas tree permits cost $5 each and are limited to one 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 several local businesses. Permits are for National Forest land only and do not authorize tree cutting on private, state, or other federally managed lands.
Participating vendors are conveniently open evening and weekend hours.
