Tree seedlings available from Division of Forestry

-A A +A

With fall just around the corner, state foresters are encouraging Kentuckians to plan tree-planting activities now by ordering tree seedlings through the Kentucky Division of Forestry.
Nearly 50 species including white pine, baldcypress, black walnut, white oak, yellow-poplar, dogwood, redbud and more are available by calling 1-800-866-0555. Order forms also are available at forestry.ky.gov.
The trees are available as bare-root seedlings in bundles of 10 or 100 and range in price from $24 to $45 per bundle. The seedlings are lifted at two state tree nurseries in Marshall and Morgan counties and delivered at your request from winter to early spring. Seedlings are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so it is advised to place orders as soon as possible.    
Seedlings are sold each year by KDF for use in reforestation, wildlife habitat development, erosion control, windbreaks and other conservation projects. Through the state's reforestation efforts, over 90,000 acres of Kentucky’s forestland exists today in one acre blocks or larger as a direct result of KDF seedlings.
For information about the availability of various tree species and prices, call the KDF at 1-800-866-0555 or visit  forestry.ky.gov/statenurseriesandtree seedlings /Pages/default.aspx.
