Free Christmas trees for fourth graders |
|
November 8, 2016 |
The Idaho Panhandle National Forests will issue
free Christmas tree permits for fourth graders
with an Every Kid in a Park pass! The free tree
permit is part of the U.S. Forest Service’s
Every Kid in a Park program, part of an
interagency call to action to build the next
generation of conservationists.
All fourth graders, including homeschooled
fourth graders, are eligible to receive a pass
that allows free access to 2,000-plus federal
land and water sites across the country for one
full year. Students must visit
www.everykidinapark.gov to print the voucher
and bring it to any of the Idaho Panhandle
National Forests offices.
The fourth grader does need to be present and
must show a valid paper voucher or durable Every
Kid in a Park pass obtained from the website or
participating federal agency in order to receive
a free Christmas tree permit. A mail-order form
is not an option for this program.
Christmas tree permits will be sold at the
Capitol Christmas Tree event in Coeur d’Alene on
Sherman Avenue this Friday, November 11, from 10
a.m. to noon.
Christmas tree permits are also available at all
Idaho Panhandle National Forests offices and
most of our 2.4 million acres of National Forest
System lands are open to Christmas tree cutting.
If you do not have a fourth grader at home,
regular permits are $5 each with a maximum of
three Christmas tree permits per family. For
