SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYO – Christmas tree seekers are in luck. BTNF’s Pinedale Ranger District will be open two Saturdays in December to better accommodate Christmas tree permit sales. On Saturday, December 2 and Saturday, December 9, the office will be open from 9am to 4pm.

Prices for the 2017 Christmas tree tags are:

  • Under 12 feet: $10
  • 12 feet to 15 feet: $15
  • 15 feet to 25 feet: $25

The Forest Service office accepts cash, check or credit card for the tree permits. Normal hours at the Pinedale Ranger District are Monday through Friday from 8am until 5pm.

Do you have a fourth grader in your household? If so, bring them in for their FREE Christmas tree tag. As part of the Every Kid in a Park initiative, every fourth grader is eligible to receive a free Christmas tree permit for the student’s household, while supplies last. Fourth graders must present a valid fourth grade pass from the Every Kid in a Park website.

Finally, the Grand Teton Association has provided the District with a whole new supply of books and toys for kids and adults for the holiday season, so families, teachers and area residents are encouraged to come in and see the new inventory.
