ALBUQUERQUE – Christmas tree permits are now available at Bureau of Land Management offices around New Mexico.
Federal land managers said the $5 permits will be sold in Albuquerque, Socorro, Taos, Farmington and Santa Fe through Dec. 24.
For the Rio Puerco and Taos areas, Christmas tree harvesters may purchase a permit online.
Only piñon and juniper trees are available for harvest as Christmas trees on BLM lands.
When transporting a tree taken from BLM public land, officials said the permit must be attached to the tree.
