Sale Information & Ordering Details

The Pierce Conservation District offers a variety of native trees and shrubs for conservation purposes such as: wildlife habitat, windbreaks, hedgerows, reforestation, wetland and stream enhancement, and erosion control, as well as for landscaping around homes and farms. The plants are bare root stock, which means they do not come in pots or burlap bags. They are harvested from the field in winter when the plants are dormant and are ready to be replanted upon arrival. Bare root plants have well developed roots and are easy to handle, transport, and plant.

The plants are grown or brokered from the Washington Association of Conservation Districts nursery located in Skagit County and are sold through local conservation districts. We strive to provide you with large quantities of high quality, affordable bare root trees and shrubs. Also available for sale are tree tubes to protect the seedlings from rodent damage and deer browse and Plantskydd Animal Repellent soluble powder, which is a very effective odor-based herbivore repellant. It lasts three to four months during the growing season and up to six months during the winter. Also be sure and check out Woodbrook Nursery’s selection of potted native plants available only on the pick-up days.
