BUTTE â The winter season brings along holiday decorating, Santa, and Christmas trees.
15 million Christmas trees are cut down in the U.S. every year. Compared to last year, Christmas trees permit numbers went up.
According to the United States Forest Service Region one, 29000 Christmas tree permits were sold, up 20000 from last year, but what does that mean for the forestâs natural environment? I know that sounds like a lot and it can be detrimental to the environment but as long as your targeting trees that donât have a good chance of growing up to be a mature tree, youâre probably fine, said Trevor Peterson, Arborist for Butte-Silver Bow Parks and Recreation.
