[February 25, 2019]    The Logan County Soil & Water Conservation District will sponsor a tree sale program again this year to encourage more tree planting. The trees may be used for any purpose and planted in town or country. Some uses are: windbreaks, timber production, wildlife cover, Christmas trees and ornamental planting.

Evergreen species being offered this year include: White Pine, Norway Spruce and Douglas Fir. Hardwoods, ornamentals and shrubs being offered are: Red Oak and White Oak and Red Twig Dogwood.

The evergreens will be sold in bundles of 25 and the hardwoods will be sold in bundles of 5. These trees will be sold at a cost of approximately $1.00 - $1.50 per tree. If you cannot use 25 trees, you might want to combine your order with a neighbor. Individual trees may be purchased at a cost of $2.00 per tree.

A two-year time release fertilizer tablet is also available. Orders will also be taken for tree protectors. These are corrugated plastic wraps that protect the tree from deer, rodents, weather and mowers. It promotes straighter and faster growth.

Trees are scheduled to be delivered in early April. You will be notified as to the exact date for pick-up. Please call the District Office at 735-5508, Ext. 3 or stop by the Office at 1650 5th Street Road, Lincoln, for more information and an order form. Order forms are also available on the District’s website at http://www.loganswcd.org/ 

Please complete the order form and return with your payment by March 8, 2019.
