The NH State Forest Nursery is open for spring 2022 orders! This is a service run by the state to grow and provide us with tree seedlings that are native and thrive in our climate.
Since 1910, the New Hampshire State Forest Nursery has occupied an established role in contributing to the well being of the state’s forests and forest economy. Planting trees and shrubs is an important stewardship activity for landowners who wish to improve our environment for future generations. Our State Forest Nursery is part of our heritage and an investment in our future.
New Hampshire State Forester Patrick Hackley
If there are any sections of your land that you’d like to “reforest” I’d recommend grabbing a few seedlings. Last year I purchased a “Screen/Windbreak Package” and a “Songbird/Wildlife Package” I was very pleased with how both packages seemed to thrive last year once planted.
Note that these seedlings are quite small, and you should plan for your “forest” taking quite a few years to grow in. But the sooner you get them planted the sooner they’ll grow in!
When ordering the trees you have a few options for delivery. This year I’ve ordered a bunch of white birch and selected the “local pickup” option. If you decide to place an order as well feel free to select that option as well and I’d be happy to pick your order up when I’m picking up mine.
