The cutting of Christmas trees is permitted anywhere on Battle Mountain BLM land except in Wilderness Study Areas.
While out cutting please remember to have your permit on you, make sure that you are following all cutting stipulations, and all recommended procedures to prevent wild fires. Also please stay on existing roads, and consult your maps to make sure you are on BLM land. Please report any permit violations with as much information as possible (e.g. date, license plate number, detailed location, and directions to area) to the Battle Mountain District Office or Tonopah Field Office.
