Now accepting applications for the 2011-12 Seedling Tree Program!

Summit County Extension and the Colorado State Forest Service work together to provide seedling trees at a low cost for landowners. CSFS seedlings are intended for conservation purposes only, such as reforestation, windbreaks or wildlife habitat. Seedlings are grown at the Colorado State Forest Service Nursery from native stock, with many species suitable to Su mmit County's high elevations.

Applications will be accepted until April 6, 2012. Seedlings will be delivered to Summit County on May 2, and must be picked up the day of delivery. Please download your application below, or call the Extension office at 970-668-3595 and we'll be happy to mail an application to you. Please call the nursery before ordering at 970-491-8429, or check the online inventory, as many species sell out early!
