MENDOCINO CO., 11/12/18 —You can now go cut down your own Christmas tree in the National Forest, for the cost of a $10 permit and the effort of getting out there, finding the perfect tree, and hauling it back home. The program began November 1 and lasts through Christmas Eve. And, if there’s a fourth grader in your family, they are eligible for a free tree permit as part of the U.S. Forest Service’s “Every Kid in a Park” initiative.
The permits are limited to one tree per family, and you can get a permit at a number of different USFS stations, retailers, and through the mail.

You can call ahead to make sure the station is open and permits are available.
