CELEBRATE ARBOR DAY,
PRE-ORDER TREE SEEDLINGS AT TREES FOR TOMORROW
EAGLE RIVER, WI – Celebrate
Arbor Day by pre-ordering your tree seedlings from Trees for Tomorrow
(TFT). This year, TFT has four different types of tree seedlings for
public purchase, including red (Norway) pine, white pine, white
spruce hybrid, and northern white cedar. The cost is $1.50 per
seedling. Proceeds support educational programs.
By placing your order in
advance, we can ensure that your order will be reserved and ready for
pick-up when they arrive in early to mid-May. Seedlings will be
available until inventory runs out, which is typically at the end of
summer or early fall. All seedlings are containerized and have
established root systems. Orders can be shipped for an additional
fee.
“Many families plant tree
seedlings together as a way to show multiple generations how to take
care of the land in a sustainable way,” said Juli Welnetz,
coordinator of the sale for Trees For Tomorrow.
Arbor Day was established in
1872 to encourage individuals and groups to plant trees. Since 1945,
Trees for Tomorrow has offered tree seedlings for public purchase.
The purpose was to encourage land owners to plant trees and practice
sound forest management principles. This tradition continues
today.
For more information or to
place an order, call (715) 479-6456, ext. 226, between 9 a.m. and 2
p.m. Monday through Friday, or go to TreesForTomorrow.com. Click on “Seedlings” for
online ordering or for a downloadable ordering form. You will be
contacted once the tree seedlings are available for pick up.
Trees For Tomorrow is an
accredited nonprofit natural resources specialty school that serves
school groups throughout Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois.
TFT’s mission is to promote sustainable management of our natural
resources through transformative educational experiences.
