Don't Waste Trees Chipperfield asks that cutters be sure they are satisfied wtih a par- ticular tree before they cut it down. Many trees are wasted each year by being cut and then discarded in fa- vor of a more desirable one that is | found later. Christmas tree cutters will also want to remember that many tracts of privately owned land exists along the Glacier Highway. Permission to take trees from these areas must, of course, be obtained from the own- ers. The District Ranger's office will gladly give advice on whether or not a particular tract is publicly owned land.
