Linn County Small Woodlands Association 2020 Seedling Sale
The Linn County Chapter of the Oregon Small Woodlands
Association (LCSWA) is proud to announce its 25th Annual Seedling Sale.
Proceeds will be used to fund Linn
County 4-H forestry awards and college scholarships for students seeking a
degree related to forestry or natural resources. What a great investment in our
forestry future!
The sale will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2020, from 8 am until noon (or while
supplies last), at the Linn County Fair and Expo Center, Santiam
Building, 3700 Knox
Butte Road, Albany, just east of I-5 at exit 234. In addition to seedlings, there will also be seedling protector
tubes with sticks available on a first-come, first-served basis. Tubes are
useful for protecting your seedlings from animal browse.
Same day purchases
may be paid for with either cash or check.
For the best selection, we encourage
you to pre-order and pay for your seedlings using the attached order form. Your
pre-paid order will reserve the seedlings for you. We will have them packed and
ready for pick-up on sale day between 8 am and 11 am. Simply fill out the order form, include a check made payable
to LCSWA for the amount
due and mail to LCSWA,
c/o Bonnie Marshall, 705 SW Larkspur Ct, Sublimity, OR 97385. All
pre-orders need to be submitted
by January 18, 2020.
Our seedlings come directly from the
nursery and will be either bare root or plugs. If available, we have included
the size description on the order form. Those
listed as 'plug' were raised in the nursery and may
come as a small, medium, or large 'plug'. Seedling
sizes such as 1-0, 1-1 and 2-0 indicate
years grown in their original seed bed (the first number) followed by years in
a transplant bed (the second number). Where possible, we have listed
the height of the seedling
in inches. Seedlings native to our area are marked with an asterisk on the order
form. Due to limited supply and continued
high demand, Coast Redwood orders are limited to ten or fewer this year.
Also attached is an information sheet
which provides more specific information about the plants available such as
origin, height, sun and soil preference, bird and wildlife value, and other
highlights about the plant. An information table will be set up at the sale
where you can view plant samples, see pictures and read additional information
about the seedlings. An OSU trained Master Woodland Manager will be there to
answer questions and identify which trees may be best suited for a particular
location.
The Local Woods Fair will be held in conjunction
with the seedling sale again this year. Artisans will be selling their wooden
wares and various organizations will be present providing useful information to small woodland owners. For more information about the Local Woods
Fair, contact Mary at
