The Orleans County Conservation District is hosting our annual plant sale. Orders are due by Friday, April 5th and are picked up by customers on Saturday, May 4th at the Orleans County Fairgrounds in Barton. Plants are sold by pre-order only; supplies are limited.
Orders can be placed online at: www.orleanscountynrcd.org
Customers can also purchase wildflower starts, grown by students in the Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization at North Country Career Center. And rainbow and brook trout for stocking private ponds.
The fundraiser is an opportunity for community members to purchase quality bareroot trees, shrubs, berry bushes, and other plants. One of the goals of the sale is to encourage individual self-sufficiency and land enhancements to private property. Some of the species for sale – such as ferns, Indian currant, willow and plum trees – are helpful for stabilizing soils and riverbanks. Planting along streams, rivers and shorelands can help prevent soil erosion. Land erosion can lead to the build up of nutrients and phosphorus in our waterways, which negatively impacts water quality.
