Christmas Tree Cutting Permit
One of the most magical activities we have participated in, over our years in the Sierra, is cutting our own Christmas Tree.
"Cutting a Christmas tree offers families a traditional holiday experience and the USDA Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) is pleased to announce the sale of Christmas tree permits which began this morning at 8 AM. Permits will be sold in-person only at the South Lake Tahoe Forest Supervisor’s office and cost $10 each, with a limit of one permit per family or address." Cyndi and I headed out at 7:30 AM. We were in the company of equally enthusiastic holiday merrymakers."In addition to the traditional experience, the permitted collection of smaller diameter trees, with a trunk of six inches in diameter or less, from selected areas contributes to the reduction of over-growth, particularly among firs, which are also the most sought after varieties for the holidays."
“The Christmas tree is a symbol of love, not money.
There's a kind of glory to them when they're all lit up
that exceeds anything all the money in the world could buy.”
