Master Watershed Stewards plant trees to intercept and infiltrate stormwater, stabilize soils, and filter pollutants.
Whether residents seek trees for privacy, foliage, shade, attracting pollinators, or creating a beautiful landscape, the Master Watershed Stewards note that the program offers a variety of trees and shrubs to meet a wide range of needs.
Trees and shrubs will be available in 2-gallon containers ($33), with one item offered in a 1-gallon size ($20) and one item in a 3-gallon size ($45).
Residents are encouraged to consider above- and below-ground utilities and mature growth size when choosing a tree for their property and always to call 811 before digging.
Details about each tree — such as average mature height, sun and soil moisture needs, and bloom time — are outlined on the order website.
Master Watershed Stewards guarantee a healthy specimen at pickup. Due to variations in planting, site conditions, and care, no guarantee or refunds are possible after tree pickup.
