A permit is required for each tree cut down in a national forest. Permits can be purchased online for one of the four ranger districts starting Nov. 10 at 8 a.m. MST
Permits are $20 per tree and last until Dec. 31.
The forest service prohibits tree cutting within wilderness areas, areas that have been planted with new trees and within 200 feet of a lake or stream.
Restrictions on height and type of tree vary by ranger district.
