Seedling tree orders from CSFS for 2025 will be limited to bare root sales of select plants. The nursery is finalizing the design phase and getting ready to begin construction on the new facility. The plan is to have container sales beginning in 2027. These are the species that will be available in bare root: Honey locust, Plum, Chokecherry, Apricot, Woods Rose, Bur Oak, Caragana, and Hackberry.
We also have order forms from the South Platte Natural Resources District available. See the order form below (SPNRD order form) to see the available trees.
Seedling tree order forms are available at the Baca County Extension Office until March. By networking with the Colorado State Forest Service, Baca County residents as well as our surrounding neighbors are able to order from over 50 native species of bare root and container seedlings, and several species of perennial wildflowers and forbes at a low cost in order to assist with their conservation efforts, with NO ACREAGE REQUIREMENT. Delivery date will be March from CSFS and April for SPNRD.
Whether you are looking to create a windbreak, replace trees in a current wind break, plant a living snow fence, reforest your property, or add wildflowers and grasses to your landscape, Colorado State Forest Service likely has a solution for you.
Inventories are limited and sell out quickly, so the sooner you place an order, the better. More information, and current inventories can be found at 2023/2024 Availability | Colorado State Forest Service | Colorado State University (colostate.edu) or are available in the Baca County Extension Office located at 700 Colorado Street. Colorado State University Extension office hours in Baca County are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
If you have any questions concerning the seedling tree program, completing order forms, selecting trees, planting trees, or if we can be of any assistance please contact the Extension Office at 719-523-6971 or stop by and see us. We hope to receive your orders soon.
