As the holiday season approaches, many of us are eager to find the perfect tree, and Colorado offers a wealth of options for tree cutting! Before you grab your saw, keep in mind that most of these places require a permit to chop down a tree and only allow doing so during specific dates. Your holiday traditions should always align with responsible practices, so make sure to double-check before cutting down a public tree.

This tree permit encompasses several national forests, including Arapaho, Roosevelt, Pike, San Isabel, and White River National Forests. You can purchase permits for Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests HERE. Permits range from $5 to $20 depending on location.
