PINEDALE –The Pinedale Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest will be open the day after Thanksgiving, on Friday, November 27 to serve the public in their purchase of Christmas tree tags from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office is located at 29 E.

A permit is required to cut Christmas trees or firewood on the Forest. Christmas trees up to 12-feet in height require a $10.00 permit. Tree permits for evergreens between 12 – 25-feet are $15.00 and any tree over 25-feet requires a $25.00 permit. You must have the permit in your possession at the time of cutting.
Fourth grade students are eligible for one free Christmas tree cutting permit with a valid paper or durable Every Kid in a Park pass. The tree permit is good for trees under 12-feet and the fourth grader must be present at the time the permit is issued. To get your free Every Kid in the Park pass go to www.EveryKidinaPark.gov and complete the application process, or come into the Forest Service office and we will complete it with you online.
Cutting or removal of forest products is prohibited in campgrounds, summer home sites, administrative sites (guard stations), ski areas, designated Wilderness Areas, and elk feed grounds.
Office hours are typically Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Also the Pinedale Ranger District will be open on Saturday December 12, and December 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Remember to come by the District Office for holiday shopping as well.
