An Interior Department official declined to say if she's still in the running for the job.

The BLM recommends Engelmann spruce, sub-alpine fir, Douglas fir, ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine as the best species for your Christmas tree.

The BLM still maintains year-round restrictions on using fireworks and tracer ammunition on the land it manages.

The highest bid per acre was $16,851.

Some BLM-administered lands also may have other fire restrictions.

The BLM imposed partial fire restrictions on the four counties last week.

Dry conditions and high fire danger are prompting the restrictions.

These restrictions are in addition to year-round restrictions about fireworks and other wildfire prevention measures on BLM and other federal lands.

The BLM has year-round restrictions including discharge or use of any fireworks, and discharge of a firearm using incendiary or tracer ammunition.

Don't trespass on private land, and make sure you’re cutting the tree in the correct area.
