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.

The District is not responsible for seedlings not picked up by 6:00 p.m. Friday, April 10th. Call before April 10th if you have a problem with pickup. We reserve the right to substitute a different size seedling for any species pending availability. If any one species is sold out, the District will refund payment for those not available.
