He says that the reason for limiting die number of tags in each designated area is to prevent over harvest of the available trees. If everyone will follow the rules to be given at die time of tag purchase, the harvesting of personal Christmas trees can and will continue. Unfortunately, every year people are caught and prosecuted for cutting trees without purchasing a tag or not following the other established rules. Situations like this jeopardize everyone's opportunity to continue enjoying th eexperience of cutting a family Christmas tree. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
