Planting survival rates of bare-root seedlings vary from site to site, from excellent to poor. We strive to provide the most viable seedlings. All efforts are made to prevent root stress.
The conservation district will NOT ensure successful planting of bare-root seedlings, just as our suppliers will not ensure seedling survival. The district is not responsible for mistakes made by the suppliers of our seedling stock.
