Christmas tree permits will be available in the Lake Tahoe Basin beginning Nov. 17, 2021. Forest officials were evaluating the availability of trees after the Caldor Fire but determined enough areas around the lake had trees. Some of the normal cutting areas may not be available but maps will be provided at the time of purchase.
This permit allows you to cut a Christmas tree within designated areas of the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
There are 1,500 of the $10 permits available and all sales will be done online, no in-person sales (sales also have a $2.50 service fee added).
