Every spring the Niagara County Soil & water Conservation District
sells DEC-raised saplings for local residents to plant for use in
conservation projects and lawns. Over 60,000 trees are
distributed across the county on an annual basis. The trees will be available in late April.
It's a really great program for two reasons...
1) It gives you access to many different species of trees and shrubs suitable for a wide variety of soil. So, there are trees available for any conservation project you may have like creating a hedgerow, planting foodstuff for birds & mammals, starting a woodlot, stifling erosion, improving your lawn and more.
2) It's cheap. You could never buy these types and amounts of trees from a local nursery without paying an arm and a leg. These trees are a great buy.
