Still a little time to order trees from county program

trees-stockA wide variety of trees and shrubs are available for sale through the Kenosha County Tree Program. Kenosha County has offered these native species for more than 25 years and, in that time, nearly one million trees have been sold. The purpose of the program is to promote conservation and to help area residents to plant a more beautiful, healthy and ecologically balanced environment. The program offers transplants and seedlings of a variety of pines, hardwoods and shrubs in bundles of 25 at a cost of $20-$25 per bundle. Varieties of trees and shrubs change from year-to-year depending upon availability, weather conditions, past sales success, tree performance and general demand trends. This year, among various other species, the following are available; Black Hills Spruce, Frasier Fir, White Pine, Black Cherry, Hazelnut, Dogwood, Birch, Crabapple, Lilacs, Oaks, and Maples. The sale is open to the public. Order forms can be obtained at the Department of Planning and Development, 19600 75th Street in Bristol (Kenosha County Center, Highwsy 45 and 50), or visit http://www.kenoshacounty.org/DocumentCenter/View/1670 Deadline for ordering is Feb. 28, 2014. Tree pickup is typically in mid- to late April. Purchasers will be contacted by mail when the pick-up date is finalized. Supply is limited so don’t hesitate.
