🌱 Tree Sale Update! 🌱

Starting tomorrow, Saturday, May 16th at 11:00 AM, all remaining tree sale stock will be reduced to HALF PRICE to help us liquidate inventory during our sale!

Those who come earlier in the day will still have access to the best selection, while the half price sale will apply to whatever inventory remains at 11:00 AM. If you don’t mind a more limited selection, this will be a great opportunity to pick up some plants at a discount while supplies last.

Thank you all for the incredible support this year and we look forward to seeing you there!

Happy Arbor Day from the Houghton Keweenaw Conservation District!

Arbor Day is a reminder that planting trees and shrubs is one small way we can all invest in a healthier local environment, cleaner water, better wildlife habitat, reduced erosion, and stronger landscapes for future generations.

One great native favorite is red-osier dogwood, known for its year round bright red stems that stand out beautifully through fall and winter, along with white berries that support birds and pollinators. It thrives especially well in moist soil or low lying areas where many other plants struggle, making it a great choice for both beauty and habitat restoration. Red-osier dogwood, along with many other trees, shrubs, and planting supplies, is still available through our spring tree sale for those looking to plant with purpose this season.

Whether you're adding one shrub or planning for the future, every planting makes a difference!
