Defiance SWCD Tree Seedling Sale
Did you know that the Defiance SWCD has been conducting an annual tree sale since 1975? If you see a tree planting in Defiance County, it is very possible that they were purchased at our annual sale and thoughtfully planted by the landowner. Customers are eager to share their successes and failures. Some people have made this an annual tradition, planting a few trees every year, to look back and see that they have planted a forest. Others enjoy a few beautiful specimens in their yard. If you would like to plant some trees but don’t know where to start, call Defiance SWCD for guidance on species, tips on planting, and even rental of tree planting equipment.
