Sugar maple, red maple, basswood, black cherry and white and red oak are also available.

This year look for a greater selection of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and asparagus that thrives in heavy clay.

Sale proceeds help support scholarships for Green Mountain Conservation Camp, resource information workshops, and planting trees alongside streams.
