The Bureau of Land Management has announced a series of holiday affordability measures that will help families save money, enjoy public lands, and support wildfire prevention this winter season. “We are committed to helping Utahns connect with their public lands in meaningful and affordable ways,” shares Joe Mendez, BLM Utah Associate State Director. “This initiative not only lowers costs for families gathering firewood and holiday trees, but it also supports our shared goal of reducing wildfire risk and improving the resilience of Utah’s landscapes.” Effective immediately through January 31, the BLM is reducing many personal-use permit fees to just $1, including Christmas tree permits and firewood permits. Residents can find up-to-date information on permit locations, cutting area maps, and safety guidance at www.blm.gov.
