The holiday season is a perfect excuse to get out into the mountains — and Plumas National Forest is making it easy. Christmas tree permits are on sale now for $10 each at local forest offices or online through Recreation.gov (go to Plumas National Forest Christmas Tree Permit). Households may buy up to two permits; each permit covers one tree and is valid through December 31, 2025. If you buy online you’ll pay a $2.50 reservation fee and must print the permit and display it on your dashboard while transporting the tree. Fourth graders with a valid Every Kid Outdoors pass can claim a free permit (a $2.50 reservation fee still applies when using the online option).A few rules to keep in mind: permits are valid only on Plumas National Forest lands — not on private, state, or other federal lands — and trees may not be cut in Wilderness Areas, active timber sales, developed recreation sites, or tree plantations.
