tree

Many Coloradans want a more hands-on experience when it comes to selecting their Christmas tree than just visiting an urban tree lot. The U.S. Forest Service annually issues $10 permits for those who want to cut their own trees in designated areas. The South Platte Ranger District office began selling permits Nov. 1 at its Morrison office (19316 Goddard Ranch Court), and an order form can also be downloaded online for those who want to mail in their permit request.
