 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s something magical about venturing into the forest to find your own Christmas tree instead of purchasing one from a vendor. The State Forests Management Centre (RMK) encourages everyone to embrace this tradition by collecting their Christmas tree this year from state-owned forests.<\/p>\n

Instructions for sourcing a tree can be found on the RMK<\/span><\/a> <\/span>website. On the map, areas marked in dark green indicate state-owned forests where tree collection is permitted for a fee. Protected areas, marked in brown, are strictly off-limits, as are privately owned forests shown in light green.<\/p>\n

The cost of a Christmas tree is determined by its height. Payment can be made conveniently via mobile payment or bank transfer.<\/p>\n

Under 1 metre<\/b> \u2013 3 euros<\/p>\n

1\u20132 metres<\/b> \u2013 8 euros<\/p>\n

2\u20133 metres<\/b> \u2013 13 euros<\/p>\n

3\u20134 metres<\/b> \u2013 23 euros<\/p>\n

4\u20135 metres<\/b> \u2013 30 euros<\/p>\n

To ensure responsible harvesting, RMK has issued specific instructions for selecting and cutting down your tree:<\/p>\n

Only cut trees from areas where they cannot grow to full size, such as road and ditch edges, under power lines, or as undergrowth in older forests. Power lines are marked in blue on the map.<\/p>\n

Cutting trees from young forests, protected areas, or areas with saplings and young trees is strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n

If selecting a tree from beneath power lines, ensure that the top of the tree remains at least 3 metres below the cables.<\/p>\n

When near power lines, exercise caution and avoid any downed wires, particularly after storms. If you see a tree leaning against a power line, do not approach.<\/p>\n

The Baltic Guide wishes all its readers a joyful Christmas season and successful preparations for the holidays!<\/em><\/p>\n
