Every year the Land Conservation Department selects a variety of wildlife trees
and shrubs to sell to the public. Most of our trees and shrubs come in bundles of
25 depending on the species. We also offer a variety of prairie seeds for moist
soil, dry soil, sun, and shade. Orders are due January 13, 2012 and pickup date
is mid to end of April.
Tree Shelter
Current Order forms
Tree Shelters
Tree shelters are four-foot plastic, seamless, twin-walled tubes. They protect newly
planted seedlings from wildlife damage. They produce a greenhouse environment, resulting
in high survival rates and faster growth. These are available anytime throughout
the year; please call ahead so we can get them to the office for pick up.
Generic Gel
Generic gel is a starch absorbent that retains water and gives it back to the plant
during dry periods. The gel increases plant survivability. It comes in granular
form and is mixed with water.
Generic Gel
Roots are dipped into the solution prior to planting. Generic gel is available throughout
the year at the Land Conservation Department and at the DNR Griffith Nursery during
their tree pickup usually mid-April to mid-May, call ahead to make sure we have
the correct size you want. Sizes are available as follows:
