Want to cut down a tree for Christmas and protect public lands from wildfires? The Bureau of Land Management has a deal for you.
The Interior Department announced Friday that the public can now buy permits to cut down a tree for Christmas on BLM rangelands across the West and Alaska at a reduced price of only $1.
Christmas tree-cutting permits, depending on the state, typically cost between $5 to $10.

The permit deal is also open to tree-cutting for firewood at $1 per cord, which includes hundreds of pieces of wood. The normal cost for a permit to cut one cord of wood is about $6.
