Items offered through the Kansas Conservation Tree Planting Program MAY NOT BE USED FOR LANDSCAPING OR RESOLD FOR LANDSCAPING PURPOSES.

Fall orders are generally shipped starting September 1, depending on weather conditions. We try not to ship plants when conditions are unfavorable for transport or planting. All orders are shipped by United Parcel Service (UPS) to the purchaser's address. Orders shipped to Colorado & Nebraska may not be shipped until October 1st.

If you elected to pick up your Fall order, you may do so on Fridays only during the dates of the sale.  Pick-up hours are  8:00a-12:00p and 1:00p-5:00 pm. 24 Hours notice is required to have your order packed and ready for your arrival. 

Spring orders are generally shipped starting mid-March through May 1. Pick-up is available Fridays only during this time.  Pick-up hours are  8:00a-12:00p and 1:00p-5:00p. Please give 24-hr notice for Friday pick-up to ensure orders are ready when you arrive.

Shipping charges are based on UPS live rates using weight and delivery location. The shipping charge helps us recover the cost of actual shipping, boxes, packing material and labor associated with the conservation seedling program. Please check to see if your state is on the available shipping locations.

 Anyone wanting to plant for windbreaks, woodlots, songbird or other wildlife habitat, erosion control, riparian filter strips, Christmas tree farms, or similar, may purchase these items. There are no restrictions on the purchaser such as in-town versus rural, in-state versus out-of-state, or landowner versus tenant. Governmental agencies may use the plants for any purpose deemed necessary, such as providing plants to students on Arbor Day, as door prizes, or recognition. We do not solicit out-of-state orders, but we will ship out-of-state if requested to do so.

The plants are guaranteed to be the species and quantities ordered, fresh, and capable of growing when planted properly and maintained with reasonable growing conditions.

All of the container-grown seedlings offered through the Kansas Conservation Tree Planting Program are grown in a greenhouse near the Kansas Forest Service's state office in Manhattan, KS. The origins of selected species source seed have been targeted to ensure desirable characteristics, such as form, color, and resistance to disease.

Bare-root seedlings are purchased from various state, federal and private nurseries.

Please be assured only the best seed and seedling sources are used in the Kansas Conservation Tree Planting Program. If you are unhappy with your order, you may be covered under our guarantee.

We reserve the right to apply a cancellation or restocking fee. No cancellations accepted within 30 days of end of sale.
