Interior Department rolls out one dollar, one tree holiday savings on public lands: For the 2025–2026 winter holiday period, the cost is $1 per Christmas Tree or cord of firewood for all BLM office areas through Jan. 31, 2026.
Beginning today, the Bureau of Land Management is reducing firewood and Christmas tree permit fees through Jan. 31, including reducing Christmas tree and firewood permits to only $1 per tree or cord. In addition, the Bureau is opening new cutting areas in overstocked woodlands to provide immediate price relief and expanded opportunities for American families to gather their own firewood and Christmas trees. The initiative delivers meaningful cost savings for families while promoting forest thinning and hazardous fuel reduction across millions of acres.
Effective today, the Bureau of Land Management will:
- Reduce fees for personal-use Christmas tree and firewood permits.
- Open new cutting areas in overstocked woodlands, prioritizing locations near communities, military bases, tribal areas and rural counties that benefit most from additional access.
- Increase household limits to up to 10 cords of firewood and up to three Christmas trees, with flexibility to remove caps in areas with abundant resources.
These steps are designed to provide immediate price relief and expand opportunities for families to gather their own firewood and Christmas trees, often in places that have not been accessible before.
Residents can find more information about the program and try to take advantage by contacting their local Bureau of Land Management office, by visiting the agency's forest products webpage or purchasing permits online at forestproducts.blm.gov.
