Orders accepted

for SWCD tree seedlings

Windy days remind us how useful windbreak trees are. Effective windbreak plantings save energy dollars, paying for themselves many times over the years. Now is the perfect time to start planning for your spring plantings by ordering tree seedlings through the Highland Soil and Water Conservation District’s Annual Tree Seedling Sale. This year’s sale will offer hardy seedlings, as well as wildflower seed packets and white vinyl flags. This is a great opportunity to make purchases at a minimal price with a maximum long-range benefit. There will be a variety of tree seedling packets offered on a first come, first serve basis so be sure to get your order in early. The pickup dates will be April 1-2 at the Liberty Township building in Hillsboro. Because of the low cost, we cannot furnish seedling replacements, nor can we mail or deliver your order. Keep in mind that these trees are only seedlings and are from one to two years of age with and average height of 8 to 10 inches. Most orders will fit in a regular size grocery bag. Order forms can be picked up at the Highland SWCD office located at 514 Harry Sauner Road, Suite 2 in Hillsboro or by contacting our office at 937-393-1922, ext#3.
