Harvesting Your Own Tree from the Boise or Payette National Fores

This weekend many people got their Christmas trees up and decorated. We went out and harvested our own.

You can get a tree permit and grab your own tree if you haven't yet. If you got to any vendor which is listed here.

There are rules and reasons though that you pay for the permit. Make sure you either go to a vendor or directly like I did to the Boise National Forest office to obtain one. Also remember if you have a 4th grader check this information out on how they get a free tree permit :

To receive a free Christmas tree permit, the fourth-grader and a parent must go to a Forest Service office in person with the “voucher” they received from the online website at:

You must make sure you are within the map they give you and follow the rules like how far from the road you can cut it.
