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.

2025 Tree seedling ordering is now closed. 

For next year, order forms will be available on this website and in the office June 2025. Pick up of those seedlings will be in April 2026.
