Tree Seedling Program for
Landowners
There are two great times to plant trees: the first was 20 years ago -- the
other is now!
Tree Programs orders taken
from November through March 16 each year and deliveries are mid April for the seedling trees. A
mass bulk mailing of the order forms are distributed in December so watch your
mail box. Trees from different forms and nurseries will arrive at different
dates in April and May, so be sure to ask about your order pick up times.
Trees must be picked up at the distribution location on date stated.
Double El is not responsible for trees once they have left the building.

The Double El Conservation District offers
seedling trees, at production costs, to landowners through the Trees for
Conservation Program sponsored by the Colorado State Forest Service. The
Colorado State Forest Service tree program enables farmers, ranchers, and rural
landowners to obtain trees at a nominal cost. The program's aim is to encourage
landowners to plant new forest, establish effective windbreaks to reduce
erosion, protect homes, cropland, livestock and highways, and enhance wildlife
habitat. Our trees and shrubs are grown for their conservation benefits
only Ornamental qualities such as color, degree of flowering, fruit production
and others are not guaranteed. Delivery of trees will be in
mid-April on a week day. There are different delivery days for each tree
form so note the dates due and pick up. The seedlings have been grown
locally and the species have been specially selected to give a higher survival
rate. All CSFS programs and services are offered on a nondiscriminatory
basis, without regard to race color, national origin, religion, sex, martial
status, or handicap.
If you have any questions on the tree
seedling program email Cheryl at: cherylchurchscd@worldnet.att.net
