Please support our Tree and Bush Sale!
Our Fruit Tree and Fruiting Bush Fundraiser
We are having a Fruit Tree and Fruiting Bush Sale as a fundraiser. Please visit our STORE Website for more information, and please place an order to help us raise money for things like the scholarship, Envirothon, conservation education and outreach in the community, and other conservation related activities. We do not receive State and Federal funding for these things, so we need your support for our fundraiser. We have a nice selection of top-quality trees and bushes at very reasonable prices. Buy now. Pick up April of 2024. Deadline to order bushes is April 1. Deadline for trees in April 12, but only as supplies last. We are quickly running out of some varieties.
