Christmas tree permits available, free to 4th-graders

Christmas tree cutting is an opportunity to create a quality moment with loved ones at “the most wonderful time of the year,” that will paint cherished life-long memories.

Permits are available for $5 to anyone who wishes to harvest a Christmas tree on America’s public lands stewarded by the Bureau of Land Management. However, under the Every Kid in a Park Initiative fourth-graders who present a valid Fourth Grade Pass will receive a free permit.

Permits are available during normal business hours at the BLM Field Offices in Glasgow, Havre, Lewistown and Malta.
