About the WCD Tree Sale
Each Spring the Washington Conservation District holds a tree sale for county landowners to purchase high quality bare root seedlings at a low cost for urban and rural conservation purposes, such as windbreaks, reforestation, erosion control, and food and cover for wildlife. The trees are sourced from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Nursery and Schumacher's Nursery & Berry Farm. The Washington Conservation District cannot control the condition of live plant stock and reserves the right to substitute damaged or unsuitable stock as necessary, and is not responsible for the condition of live plant stock after the scheduled pick-up days, and provides no guarantee for its condition or survival. The trees cannot be resold. All trees are bare root and sold in bundles of 25. The trees will range in height from 5-24 inches tall at the time of pick-up.
We have many varieties of trees that are native to Minnesota, including conifers, hardwoods, small trees, and shrubs; there are also a few varieties that are not native but work well in Washington County.

Orders are accepted through the middle of April or until inventory runs out. Please order early to ensure that you get the species and quantity you want!
We will be offering online ordering only. Our online ordering is quick & easy and ensures that you will have the most up to date inventory available to you.
Using Paypal: Please note that when you order online you will be asked to use PayPal at checkout. If you do not have a PayPal account you will be prompted to create one. You will receive a confirmation email after you place your order. Also note that you will be asked to provide a shipping address, but the trees will be delivered to the Washington County Fairgrounds and will need to be picked up there; they will not be delivered to your address. We will use this address to mail you the reminder postcard in Spring.
