Keeping your tree fresh ... Because trees begin to lose moisture as soon as they are cut, they should be put into water as soon as possible. This helps avoid discoloring and drooping of the needles. As soon as a tree is brought to your home or other place of use, store it in a cool, shady spot with the butt end placed in water, sprinkling the branches and foliage with water daily.

Cutting the butt diagonally (preferably with a saw) about an inch above the original cut will aid absorption of water. An evergreen will absorb an astonishing amount of water through the butt. Most of this is soon lost by evaporation through the foliage .

For a closer estimate on how much wood you have collected, multiply the Length by Width by Height of your load. This gives you the total cubic feet. Then divide by 128 to find what percent of a cord you have collected. The tighter you stack, the more wood (and less air) you have per cord.

To learn daily woodcutting conditions and fire restrictions on the Plumas National Forest, call any of the offices listed above, or call 1-800-847-7766.

' ' Cutting Map

For all Christmas Tree and wood cutting you must have both the map and permit with you while cutting and transporting your Christmas Tree or firewood. Please be sure to review the conditions of the permit.

Motor Vehicle Use Motor vehicle use on National Forest System Lands is restricted to designated roads and trails. In addition to this map, use a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) to make sure you are on a designated route, as they are not always signed on the ground. The MVUM also displays uses allowed by vehicle class (highway-legal vehicles, vehicles less than 50 inches wide and motorcycles), seasonal restrictions and other travel rules and regulations. The MVUM is a free black and white map with no topographic features. Maps are available at each Ranger Station or can be requested by mail at (530) 283-2050. Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery. It is also available on the Forest website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/plumas
