Plant a seedling for conservation, wildlife – and family fun!
MADISON -- Interested in attracting birds to your property? Looking to restore your lake shore? Want to get kids outside engaged in learning about the natural resources? Or perhaps you are interested in giving a gift of green for a birthday present or special occasion. The Department of Natural Resources has an idea – tree planting.
The DNR Division of Forestry nursery program offers high-quality, native tree seedlings to landowners in Wisconsin. Conifers, hardwoods and wild shrubs are available and must be planted for conservation purposes. The minimum order is 1,000 seedlings or one packet.
People can contact their local DNR forester for information on reforestation practices, cost-share opportunities, and planting machine availability. Visit the DNR website, dnr.wi.gov and search “tree planting” for an order form or call 715-424-3700.
