CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield County Conservation District is now taking orders for its fourth annual tree sale.
Trees play an integral part of our natural resources and provide years of pleasure for the humans and wildlife species that depend on them. The species that we offer are suitable for many uses, including aesthetic pleasure, wildlife food and habitat, windbreaks, erosion control and stream buffers.
Each year the CCCD strives to provide something different than the year before but still offer their old standbys like white pine, arborvitae, white and red oak and sugar maple seedlings. They are also selling a variety of fruit trees including apple, cherry, pear, peach and the unique paw paw tree. You will also find several Pennsylvania native shrubs and small trees for sale such as American cranberry viburnum, American hazelnut and eastern redbud. Whether you’re looking for the showy flowers of mountain laurel or the bird attracting berries of arrowwood viburnum, you’re sure to find something to suit your needs and interests.
The full color order brochure provides species descriptions and planting requirements and can be viewed and printed from their Web site. All orders must be pre-paid and received by the Conservation District office by Feb. 18. Trees will be available for pick-up in mid-April.
All proceeds from the sale will support local conservation efforts and environmental education programs in Clearfield County. To receive an order brochure by mail please contact the Clearfield County Conservation District at 814-765-2629.
