How this works
79 national forests list a 2026 Christmas tree permit on Recreation.gov, and 65 Bureau of Land Management offices list one in BLM's permit store. We read both on Nov 12, 2026 and print what they say: the dates, the price, the limit and the rules, each with its source. Sale times are in each place's own time zone. Recreation.gov prints them in Eastern, and we convert. A permit is the agency's to sell, and the rules on it are the agency's. We quote them and link them. We don't sell permits, and nothing here is one.
2 forests have pages on Recreation.gov with no permit type named and no dates on them. We print what the page says and no date. 53 more Forest Service units and 50 BLM field offices don't list a permit in either store. We say "not posted yet" for those, never "no program": some sell at the office and never post one online. Distances are straight lines to a forest's boundary, not to the cutting area and not by road. The forest's own map shows where you can cut. How we read the agencies · Not a permit, not the agency

Comanche National Grassland
Not posted on its own. None of the Pike and San Isabel permit's 20 types names this grassland, and its rules don't mention it; the office that runs it is the place to ask.

What the record says
Recreation.gov lists a permit under the Pike and San Isabel National Forest. It has 20 permit types, and none of them names this grassland.
The permit's rules don't mention it either. The Forest Service's ranger district layer puts it in the Comanche Ranger District (read Nov 12, 2026), which no permit type is named for. We found no other 2026 tree permit for this grassland in Recreation.gov's catalog. That doesn't say there is no program: some offices sell at the counter. Read that permit
Where to ask
Pike-San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands, the site of the office that runs it. It lists the offices and their phone numbers. We opened it on Nov 1, 2026.
