Families can make National Forest part of Christmas tradition

CHEQUAMEGON-NICOLET NATIONAL FOREST - Many families make cutting down their own Christmas tree a family tradition. Rangers hope you make the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest part of that tradition.

The U.S. Forest Service sold 740 permits to cut down trees in the forest last year. So far this year, the Eagle River-Florence Ranger District has sold more than 80 permits.

A major reason the forest service offers the permits is to get more people out experiencing the forest.
