犹他州这片国家森林的圣诞树许可11月9日开售：五个林区可砍，树高上限20英尺
位于犹他州的 Uinta-Wasatch-Cache 国家森林，圣诞树许可的线下销售2026年11月9日开始。美国林务局在 Recreation.gov 上的许可页面说，这张许可可以在该国家森林的指定区域砍一棵圣诞树，开放的林区有五个：Heber-Kamas、Evanston-Mountain View、盐湖林区的 Stansbury Mountains、Logan 和 Ogden。
先说最抢手的一个。Heber-Kamas 林区的许可需求非常高、很可能很快售罄，2026年该林区把许可分成三个完全相同的批次分开卖，买任意一批即可；这个林区售罄后，可以看 Evanston-Mountain View 林区，那里常常还有余量。Heber-Kamas 林区只能砍高山冷杉，且不得超过20英尺。
全森林的通用规矩：树高上限20英尺，砍后树桩高度不得超过6英寸，要把整棵树砍下，不能只截树梢；有雪时先把树桩周围的雪拨开再量。禁砍区域包括荒野区、木材销售区和新植树区，离湖泊溪流等滨水区、营地、野餐区和行政站点200英尺内不能砍，离40号公路200英尺内也不能砍；盐湖林区只准在 Stansbury Mountains 砍，且只限杜松，柔枝松全森林禁砍。
出门前的准备页面也列了：森林道路冬季可能不维护，出门前查天气、路况和关闭信息，带上防滑链、铲子和拖链，油箱加满，手机信号可能时有时无，要留一张地图并告诉别人自己的去向和返回时间，天黑前离开林子。砍树时把许可放在车仪表板上。（来源：美国林务局）
Christmas Tree Permits for This Utah National Forest Go on Sale November 9: Five Districts Open, Trees Up to 20 Feet
In-person sales of Christmas tree permits for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah begin November 9, 2026. The U.S. Forest Service permit page on Recreation.gov says the permit allows cutting a Christmas tree in designated areas of the forest across five ranger districts: Heber-Kamas, Evanston-Mountain View, the Stansbury Mountains on the Salt Lake District, Logan and Ogden.
One district needs planning. Heber-Kamas permits are in very high demand and will likely sell out quickly, so for 2026 the district offers three identical batches of permits and buyers may choose any one of them; if Heber-Kamas sells out, the Evanston-Mountain View district often has additional availability. In Heber-Kamas, only subalpine fir trees, 20 feet or shorter, may be cut.
Forest-wide rules set a 20-foot maximum tree height and a 6-inch maximum stump height, require taking the whole tree rather than topping it, and call for clearing snow around the stump before measuring. Cutting is prohibited in wilderness areas, timber sales and planted areas, within 200 feet of riparian areas, campgrounds, picnic areas and administrative sites, and within 200 feet of Highway 40. On the Salt Lake District, harvesting is allowed only in the Stansbury Mountains and is limited to juniper, and limber pine may not be harvested anywhere in the forest.
Trip advice is equally specific: forest roads may not be maintained in winter, so check weather, warnings and closures, carry tire chains, shovels and a tow chain, keep a full tank of gas, bring a map because cell service may be spotty, tell someone where you are going, and leave the woods before dark, with the permit displayed on the dashboard while harvesting and transporting the tree.
