Cut your own tree in New Mexico with a $5 permit from BLM
The Bureau of Land Management will begin selling Christmas tree permits in New Mexico on Nov. 24.
Permits will be available at the Farmington, Taos, Socorro and Rio Puerco field offices, as well as at the New Mexico State Office, according to a community announcement. The permits must be purchased before Dec. 24 and cost $5 per tree.
Permits and maps can be obtained over the counter at local BLM offices or, for some locations, online at https://forestproducts.blm.gov. If purchasing online, buyers must have access to a printer to print the permit and map.
When transporting a tree taken from BLM public land, the haul tag provided with the permit must be attached to the tree.
The BLM has developed georeferenced maps compatible with any georeferenced map mobile application. Those with a smartphone can download a map before heading out to harvest a tree by visiting the BLM website.
Before visiting a local BLM office to obtain a permit, it is recommended to call the office to confirm services and staff availability. The locations where permits may be available include:
- Rio Puerco Field Office, 100 Sun Ave., NE, Suite 330, Albuquerque, NM 87109, (505) 761-8700

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Hundreds of New Mexicans gathered in front of the courthouses in downtown Albuquerque on Sunday to protest the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
Community organizers say they would like for more people to join the protests, which they hope will bring changes in New Mexico and the country.
“The more people that see us out here, the more people we can get out here, get these politics into their head, get this idea of we are actually on the same team against the billionaires,” said Shannon McKenna, one protester.
Protesters marched from the courthouses down Lomas through downtown, ending at Civic Center Plaza.
