Murray, KY – Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area is allowing people to cut a cedar Christmas tree again this year, as long as they first obtain a permit. The permits are good through Dec. 24 and entitle a family to cut one cedar tree at no charge. Trees may be cut anywhere except areas within sight of U.S. 68/Kentucky 80 or The Trace, cemeteries, the Nature Watch Demonstration Areas, campgrounds, lawns or other mowed areas. Permits, maps and cutting guidelines are available Monday through Friday at the LBL Administrative Office and the Golden Pond Visitor Center.
