The Bedford County Conservation District is again offering tree and shrub seedlings. Native species that offer wildlife food or cover and those which are effective as riparian buffer plantings are emphasized but most have appeal in landscaping as well; as windbreaks, hedging, or as specimen plantings. Native species are preferred food for our native pollinators. Proceeds from the seedling sale are used in Bedford County for Conservation District education efforts such as Arbor Day activities and Envirothon events. Orders must be submitted with prepayment to the Bedford County Conservation District office by March 31, 2015.

The District cannot guarantee successful planting of bareroot seedlings, just as our suppliers cannot guarantee seedling survival.
