Abstract:
Individuals and businesses planning to remove forest products from lands managed by the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management must obtain a permit. To obtain a permit, applicants must meet certain criteria. Upon receiving a permit, the permittee must comply with the terms of the permit. Such terms designate the forest products that can be harvested and under what conditions harvest may occur. In addition, those wishing to obtain a Christmas tree permit from the Tonto National Forest must complete the Tonto National Forest Christmas Tree Permit Application. Each permit and contract implements different regulations and has different provisions for compliance, but each permit and contract collect similar information from applicants.
