You know spring can’t be far behind when the area Soil Conservation Districts have their annual tree sale. Here’s the line up in our area for this spring.
The Monroe District deadline for ordering is March 22; Lenawee District: March 19; Washtenaw District: March 18; Wayne County: Mid May ; Lucas County Ohio: April 2.
Other Districts in Michigan can be found here.
The Soil Conservation sales give the general public an opportunity to purchase tree and shrub seedlings that would otherwise be difficult for us to find. Proceeds from these sales help fund various conservation and environmental educational programs.

I have volunteered handing out trees at the Washtenaw County Conservation District sale for over 5 years, and will be there again this year. It is a great way to get a lot of trees at a good cost. Also, Washtenaw sells native plants, bulbs, and planting aids as well as trees.

Hi Monica, That’s really a great thing you do, helping out at the tree and plant sale. Just think how it would be if the District staff had to try and do that all by themselves!
