Tree Program
Tree Program
Each year the Chisago SWCD has a tree sale. We offer bare root seedlings in bundles of approximately 25. The purpose of the tree sale is to offer an economical way to plant wildlife habitat. Online ordering starts in November, with distribution scheduled for late April/early May every year.
