			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.totalescape.com/GIFS/parks/calaveras/footbridge.jpg" alt="Blue Spruce Trees" align="left" border="0" height="249" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="300" />On rare occasion,  the local National Forest may be letting the general public cut their own Christmas trees in the nearby forests. There is usually a small fee &amp; a list of rules. They do this for thinning of the forest, where pine trees are too close together. Free labor for the government &amp; you are paying them for the privilege of cutting your own perfect pine tree. American traditions such as this still exist. <a href="http://www.totalescape.com/active/campstuff/NF/NFS.html">Call your local Rangers Office to inquire.</a></p>
<p>As the busy California consumers we are, we love convenience &amp; the reasonable price. If you must buy your live Christmas Tree in the city, try your local nursery first, then Orchard Suppy Warehouse (OSH). They have a great selection on live trees. Replant this little pine tree in your yard, or back in a forest.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ll hafta settle for the freshly cut tree, here is a list of California retail tree lots.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.cachristmas.com/RetailLotMenu.html">cachristmas.com/RetailLotMenu</a></strong></p>
<p>Perhaps you want to cut your very own real tree,  the premium looking pine (Blue Spruce, Douglas Firs) &#8211; without off roading all over public lands. Locate a Christmas Tree Farm in California on the link below</p>
