Show Dixie Forest Personal Tree Tag Sale Christmas trees will be for sale on Dixie National Forest in the following areas: Escalante Area Escalante Ranger District. Permits may be obtained Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m., to 12:00 noon and 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. until December 23. No permits will be sold on Saturdays or Sundays. The limit is two tags per family. All tree species except blue spruce may be cut. The Escalante Ranger District has only small stands of blue spruce occurring along North Creek and Pine Creek. The Forest Service wants to retain these few blue spruce for aesthetic, watershed, and fishery purposes. It is hoped the public will comply, enabling the whole district to be kept open to personal Christmas tree cutting rather than having only designated areas. |
