DIY Christmas tree

Want to cut your own Christmas tree this year? You can but you will need a permit.

British Columbians interested in cutting their own Christmas tree can obtain a permit online, or by contacting their local district or FrontCounter BC office.

Local district offices can provide details about specific cutting requirements and approved harvest areas. Free-use permits are provided for personal use only. Selling a tree cut under a Christmas tree permit, or cutting a tree in an unauthorized area, is illegal.

If you want to have your own Christmas adventure you're reminded to check online maps provided by districts to ensure you are cutting within a designated area. No permits are available in the Chilliwack District due to population density and tree demand.

The ministry's Christmas tree website provides links to online Christmas tree permits, as well as FrontCounter BC and district office contact information. The BC Christmas Tree Council's website contains a list of tree farms and "U-Cuts" around the province.
