With approximately 3 <br />million seedlings available for the spring planting season, this is a great opportunity <br />for landowners to reforest their property to create wildlife habitat, shelterbelts, or a <br />woodland oasis. <br />{źƓĭĻ ЊВЌЊͲ ƷŷĻ aźƓƓĻƭƚƷğ 5bw͸ƭ {ƷğƷĻ CƚƩĻst Nursery has developed techniques to <br />ensure the highest-quality seedling stock. The State Forest Nursery offers 26 species <br />of native bareroot trees and shrubs. However, seedling selection and availability <br />decreases after the first few weeks of sales. Visit the State Forest Nursery seedling <br />ordering webpage (mndnr.gov/forestry/nursery/ordering.html) to view the available <br />species and access the tree seedling order form. <br />A minimum order of 500 seedlings is required when purchasing from the State Forest <br />Nursery. This is roughly the number of seedlings needed to plant one acre of bare <br />land. Orders can be tailored in increments of 100 for each species. Prices vary <br />depending on species, with the price as low as $195 for 500 seedlings. The State <br />Forest Nursery also offers two pre-selected seedlings packets, simplifying the <br />decision-making process. The conifer packet includes 250 white spruce and 250 red <br />pine seedlings to add more greenery to woodlands in winter. The fruiting trees and <br />shrubs packet features a mixture of chokecherry, black cherry, nannyberry, <br />hackberry, and wild plum to create a pollinator-friendly habitat. <br />2 <br /> <br />
