Overview
- Permits for personal-use Christmas trees and cords of firewood are reduced to $1 through Jan. 31 on designated Bureau of Land Management lands, with availability focused on western states and Alaska.
- BLM is opening additional cutting areas in overstocked woodlands, prioritizing locations near communities, military bases, tribal areas and rural counties that benefit most from expanded access.
- Household collection limits rise to up to 10 cords of firewood and up to three trees, with flexibility for local offices to remove caps where resources are abundant.
- Interior projects roughly $9.4–$10 million in total savings for families during the holiday season under the One Dollar, One Tree effort.
- The department says the program will help thin forests and reduce hazardous fuels, and state BLM offices are posting site-specific rules with permits available online at forestproducts.blm.gov.
