    logo_USFS_USDAFlagstaff AZ (April 15, 2014) – The spring season for collecting live trees, known as wildings, from National Forest lands, began Friday, April 11th on the Coconino National Forest.  Permits will be offered until Friday, May 9th and are valid for plant collection through Sunday, May 11th. 

    There are typically two wildings permit seasons – one in the spring and another in the fall, for approximately one month while plants are dormant. Permits will be available for coniferous trees only (Douglas fir, white fir, ponderosa pine, pinyon pine, and juniper).  Due to the severe decline of aspen stands across the forest and lack of natural regeneration, aspen seedlings will not be offered. 

    Trees up to 12 feet tall may be collected; however for the best chance of successful transplanting, foresters recommend that selected seedlings be much smaller in size – less than four feet. The fee is $1.00 per foot, with a minimum fee of $20.00 per permit. Maps of designated gathering locations, along with transplanting recommendations, are provided with the permit.

    When transplanting, remember to take advantage of the information available through the Firewise program (www.firewise.org).  Homeowners living in or near the wildland-urban interface are responsible for “fireproofing” their private property.  They can also contact municipal and county fire departments and state fire management agencies.

    Permits are available at the following locations:

    • Coconino National Forest Supervisor’s Office, Flagstaff; 928-527-3600; 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
    • Flagstaff Ranger Station, Flagstaff; 928-526-0866; 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
    • Mogollon Rim Ranger Station, Happy Jack; 928-477-2255; 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. (No permits sold after 3:45 p.m.)

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
