Seedling sale date set; volunteers needed



Signups are now being taken for volunteers to work at the Linn County Small Woodland Assoc. annual seedling sale.
The 25th annual sale is set for Saturday Feb. 1 at the Linn County fairgrounds. The sale provides scholarship funds for Oregon State University forestry students as well as 4-H forestry scholarships.
Volunteers are needed Friday, Jan 31.to package seedlings that have been pre-ordered. Order forms for the 2020 sale will appear in the January issue of The Quarterly Bark and online at  linncountyswa.com.
Bonnie Marshall, seedling sale chairman, informed the LCSWA board at its September meeting that orders will be similar to last year, a record year for pre-orders and sales.
The young plants will be coming primarily from Brooks Nursery and other local nurseries. Supplies sold out quickly on Saturday last year. About 1,500 Douglas firs have been ordered along with about 450 grand fir.  Also, Marshall will be adding Oregon white oak to the order form. The hardwood is drought tolerant and provides for wildlife. 
To sign up for the 2020 sale contact Marshall at 503-769-6510 or bonniem@wvi.com.
