Need a Christmas tree? Here’s where you can cut down your own in Washington

If you’re planning on buying a Christmas tree this year, don’t head to your local nursery just yet. Because you can actually cut down your own tree! And while we know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it will certainly make for an unforgettable holiday experience.

Now before you go cutting down any old tree, there are some things you should know. The first thing is that you’ll have to head to the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. And secondly, you’ll need to get a permit. But that special little permit also happens to give you the exact areas you can tree hunt and the size specifications for what you’re allowed to take home.

So beyond adventure, you’re probably wondering why the heck you’d want to cut down your own tree. Well for one, that money goes to the forest service and you’ll also help prevent wildfires. Because in case you didn’t know, younger trees can be the perfect tinder during fire season.

So if you’re up for an adventure this holiday season we highly recommend picking your own Christmas tree. After all, you’ll get a super unique tree and it’ll probably be a new experience. But with that in mind, be prepared for winter conditions and don’t forget your permit!
