For Immediate Release
Holiday Trees from
Hiawatha National Forest

Escanaba, MI –

Did you know that holiday trees are available for cutting on Hiawatha National Forest land?  If you are one who likes the “thrill of the hunt,” — the excitement of trudging through the snow in search of the perfect tree — then we have the perfect opportunity for you!  For the price of a “tree tag” ($5) and a little sweat, you can cut your own tree from National Forest land!

To obtain a permit, in the form of a “tree tag,” stop at your local Ranger District office.  Along with your permit you will receive tree cutting guidelines, information regarding cutting areas, and suggestions for flame-proofing your tree.

For more information, contact the US Forest Service at Manistique (906) 341-5666, Munising (906) 387-2512, Rapid River (906) 474-6442, St Ignace (906) 643-7900, or Sault Ste Marie (906) 635-5311.
