MISSION – Mission-area residents are invited to attend a CutBlock Party and help replant trees at the Mission Municipal Forest later this month.
The City of Mission says the event will be held on Saturday, March 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The public is invited to help reforest a recently logged cutblock by planting trees for the future and better understand how the municipality’s sustainable forestry operations support the community.
The free event invites community members to enjoy easy guided hikes, try their hand at axe throwing, climb into a massive rock truck and explore the history and future of the forest.

Each attendee will receive a free hot dog.
The community is reminded that there will be some light walking involved, and they are asked to kindly leave dogs at home.
The forest is located at Hunter Logging Road at the end of Sabo Street in northern Mission.
