The permit is required to be attached to the tree and sealed in such a manner that the permit must be cut or the seal broken to be removed. Those planning to transport more than five trees in the same vehicle will require a trans- portation permit from the local sheriff's office. Remember to be prepared for sudden weather changes and colder conditions, particularly in higher elevations. For the unprepared, a tree-cutting outing can become very uncomfortable and even dangerous with a quick change of weather. Although tree cutting is permitted through Dec. 25, officials recommend cutting trees early in the season before higher eleva- tions become snowbound. Trees can stay fresh for some time if properly cared for. One helpful hint is to bring an old tarp in which to wrap the tree during transport. The tarp helps to pro- tect the tree from broken branches and other damage as it's removed from the forest. The tarp can also help prevent wind damage on the way home. To help keep a tree fresh once it arrives home, cut two inches from the bottom and place it in water. Keep the tree watered and in a shady spot outside until it's time to bring it inside.
