Non-transferable wristbands will be issued to the first 1,000 individuals starting at 6 a.m. on both days. Individuals with a wristband must purchase their tree permit in person the same day they receive a wristband.

One tree permit will be sold per adult 16 years old and above. The permits will be sold on a first-come first-serve basis.
