CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - The U.S. Forest Service displays holiday spirit with a sale!

Online permits for Christmas tree cutting in the medicine bow-Routt national forests are now available.

Each permit costs $10 and allows for cutting one tree on national forest system lands, with a five-permits per household limit.

4th graders also have a perk through the “every kid outdoors” program...

And they get a free pass to get a tree to help bring their families some added holiday spirit.

“Its a great opportunity provided by the U.S. Forest Service for people to get out and use their national forest both for a recreational outing and to harvest a forest product and then take that back into their home,” said Aaron Voos, Public Affairs Specialist Forest Services-Laramie.

Online sales are provided by the service 24-7.
