\u201cEspecially for those who don\u2019t visit the forest often, taking to the woods with goal of cutting down your own Christmas tree can be a little overwhelming,\u201d said Forest Public Affairs Officer, Benjamin Cossel. \u201cOur rangers will help you understand the height limitations, what tools to use and be on hand with maps of cutting locations.\u201d<\/p>\n
