Christmas tree permits will be available for purchase online through Recreation.gov beginning Oct. 8. Details about designated cutting areas, dates and tree species that may be cut can be found HERE
To purchase a Christmas tree permit, visit Recreation.gov and search for “Prescott National Forest Christmas Tree Permits.” Visitors should carefully read the overview and need‑to‑know information before purchasing. A Recreation.gov account is required to complete the transaction. A total of 700 permits will be available at $20 each.
Fourth graders with an Every Kid Outdoors pass are eligible for a free Christmas tree permit by entering their pass or voucher number during checkout. A $2.50 reservation fee will still apply.
Cutting a Christmas tree also helps improve forest health. The permit system thins dense stands of small‑diameter trees, and local forest health experts identify areas where removing these trees benefits overall forest conditions. Thinning helps remaining trees grow larger and can open areas that provide forage for wildlife.
