DEC and SWCD Sales

🌳 DEC & County SWCD Annual Tree & Shrub Sales 🌳


Each winter, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and our county Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) open their annual Tree & Shrub Sales. These programs offer affordable seedlings for conservation plantings, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and backyard stewardship.

Important Note for Native‑plant Gardeners:
Species are typically listed by common name, and sales include both native and non‑native seedlings. If no brochure is available to translate common names into species names, googling the common name will often give you the species name. To confirm whether a species is native to New York, google BONAP <species> or NY Flora Atlas <species>:
