Purchase Trees from the
4-H Seedling Tree Program

Now is the time to think about planting trees for the spring. If you are a Colorado landowner of two or more acres, you are eligible to participate in the Seedling Tree Program. High quality trees suitable for Colorado growing conditions are offered to those that qualify at a discounted price. Trees are sold in lots of 50 for bare root trees and lots of 30 for regular and large potted trees. These trees must be used for conservation purposes only, such as windbreaks, wildlife habitat, reforestation and erosion control.
The Seedling Tree program in Douglas County is the main fundraiser for the 4-H Youth Council. The money earned sponsors many activities, allows 4-H'ers to attend state and national camps, and provide scholarships to Douglas County youth.
Seedling Tree orders will be available for pickup in April. Dates and times are tentative, but a reminder card will be sent to all purchasers when dates are finalized. The pickup sight is the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
So join the many Coloradoans who plant trees to benefit the environment, themselves and their neighbors. You too can grow the future!
If you have any questions about tree selection, windbreak planning, or general questions about the Seedling Tree program, please call the Extension office at (720) 733-6940.
