In the news, there is a family lost in the woods looking for a x'mas tree. I would have thought that is illegal to cut down trees from public land. Otherwise, our parks or forest close to cities will be bare without trees.

CDF issues permits.
They cost $10 per tree, with a limit of two per address, and you get a map showing where to go cut so that CDF can spread people around. It's a fun way to get a tree - I do it every year.
The lost family DID have a permit. They were foolish, but not criminal.

Yes, that is completely illegal in my home state of Oregon at least. But we have a zillion U-cut X-mas tree farms and the trees only cost $10 and the its safe, so I don't know why anybody wouldn't just go to one of those.

Yes, It's illegal. Should go to private tree farms to get a tree

I believe they were doing something illegal. One just can't go up in the mountains in California and cut any tree down for x-mas. They have to go to sites that are regulated, to cut trees.

You need a permit to cut a tree on any public land. He was stealing and he almost killed his three kids to save $30. He also cost California a fortune in rescue dollars. I.D.I.O.T. and thief.

Yes, it is illegal....they had a permit to go out in designated areas, (which is legal and many states permit) but I guess got disoriented and off the beaten path...

Yes, without a permit it is theft. I believe they had a permit.
