The Bridger-Teton National Forest's Pinedale Ranger District will be open three Saturdays in December to better accommodate Christmas tree permit sales. On Saturday, December 7, December 14, and December 21, 2019 the office will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. All Christmas tree permits are $15 for any tree less than 20-feet. Payment may be made with cash, check or credit card for the Christmas tree permits.
Christmas Tree permits are also available during regular hours at the Pinedale Ranger District on Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
The Grand Teton Association (GTA) has provided the District with a whole new supply of books and toys for kids and adults for the holiday season, so families, teachers and area residents are encouraged to come in and see the new inventory. Products are relevant to the local natural history of the Forest and the entire Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. On Friday, November 29, 2019 GTA will be offering a Black Friday sale! All merchandise will be 25% off.
If you have a 4th grader in your household, bring them in for their FREE Christmas tree permit. As part of the Every Kid Outdoors initiative, every fourth grader is eligible to receive a free Christmas tree permit for the student's household. Fourth graders must present a valid fourth grade pass from the Every Kid Outdoors website. For additional information about the initiative and how to obtain a pass, visit https://www.everykidoutdoors.gov/. Fourth graders must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and be present to claim their family's free Christmas tree permit. They need to print off a voucher on line or bring their pass to the Forest Service office to get their free tree.
