‘Tis the season … almost! The Kaibab National Forest will begin selling Christmas tree tags Nov. 16. Please see news release for details.
Kaibab National Forest to offer Christmas tree permits starting Nov. 16; fourth graders eligible for free permit with Every Kid in a Park pass
Williams, Ariz., Oct. 17, 2017—For Immediate Release. The Kaibab National Forest will sell over-the-counter and through-the-mail Christmas tree tags on a first-come, first-served
basis for each of its three ranger districts beginning Nov. 16 and continuing until they are sold out.
The $15 permit will allow the holder to cut a tree of any species that is not more than 10 feet in height within a designated area on the Kaibab National Forest from Nov. 16 through Dec. 24. The tag is only good for a tree on
the ranger district from which it was purchased and can’t be used to cut a tree on a different district unless specifically noted. No refunds will be made, even if weather conditions prevent access to cutting areas.
Individuals who purchase tags will be provided with a map showing their designated cutting area along with additional tree cutting instructions. The number of available tags and tree species, locations and hours for purchasing
the permits, and contact information for each ranger district are as follows:
Individuals desiring to purchase Christmas tree tags through the mail should contact the appropriate ranger district office for information
on the required process. Turnaround time for arrival of tags through the mail is often 10 business days, so individuals desiring these tags should call well in advance to ensure adequate time for their permits to arrive.
The Kaibab National Forest is also pleased to announce that all fourth graders are eligible for a free Christmas tree permit, while supplies last, through the Every Kid in a Park initiative. Every Kid in a Park
is a nationwide call to action to connect kids to nature. All fourth graders are eligible to receive a fourth grade pass that allows free access to federal lands and waters across the country for a full year.
In support of this initiative, the Forest Service is making available a free Christmas tree permit to every interested fourth grader with a fourth grade pass or paper voucher. For additional information about
the initiative and how to obtain a pass, visit www.everykidinapark.gov.
To be eligible for a free Christmas tree permit from the Kaibab National Forest, all fourth graders must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and present their fourth grade pass or paper voucher.
