Christmas Trees for $7.00

From the Florida Forestry Assn. news letter comes a notice of the Ocala National Forest offering the privilege of cutting a sand pine tree between Nov. 23 and Dec. 24 for a fee of $7.00.  In years past when I owned forest land, I searched for shapely sand pines and was always happy with the appearance and durability of one.

See the excerpt below for contact with the Ocala National Forest.
