Tree Seedling Program

Our Tree Seedling Program is a reliable source for conifer tree seedlings at a reasonable cost for local forest owners and forest managers.  Our seeds are properly sourced for the Idaho Panhandle's soils, climate and elevation. We contract with an inspected professional nursery to grow seedlings two years in advance of delivery.  All funds received from sales go back into the program ensuring a sustainable program.

This year we are offering Engelmann Spruce Seedlings. These are a landscaping favorite for use in sound, sight, and wind barriers as well as for their beauty!
