Anoka Conservation District Taking Spring Tree Orders

The Anoka Conservation District has started to take seedling orders for end of April pick up. The trees and shrubs are sold in bare root seedlings or transplants and most range from 12" to 18" in height. The majority may be purchased in bundles of ten for $24, or twenty-five for $46 not including tax. Native prairie seed is also available. You do not need to be an Anoka County Resident to order.

ACD promotes the restoration of native ecosystems by offering more native species and categorizing them based upon their ecosystems. Why does this make sense to do? Native plants are best suited to Anoka County’s conditions. They can survive the soils, moisture and climate without needing additional care. They naturally grow well together and complement each other’s characteristics. They are capable of forming the most complex and resilient ecosystems possible in this area, thereby providing the most benefit to local wildlife.  Plus, most of our natural communities have been reduced to a few acres by agriculture and development and are in need of restoration.
