NYS Soil and Water Conservation District Annual Tree and Shrub Sale

It’s time for the 2026 Tree and Shrub Program!

New York State Soil and Water Conservation Districts in counties throughout the Mohawk Valley participate in the annual Tree and Shrub Program.

I don’t know about you, but we love this program! Every year, we check out the trees, shrubs, and other items that could help us in our yard. It’s fun find out what the county has available and new. Filling out the form is super easy and we really look forward to spring when we can pick up what we ordered. We’ve had such great luck with all of the trees and shrubs we have added to our property from this program. There’s plenty available such as seeds, bare root seedlings, transplants, deciduous trees, bushes and shrubs to choose from.

Also while supplies last, native wildflower seed packets, and planting accessories, nesting boxes, and straw are available to the public to help restore natural habitat and conserve our land’s resources.

Some new additions have been made to this year’s selections. These include White Spruce, American Hazelnut, Bitternut Hickory, Sycamore, Red Haven Peach, Honeycrisp Apple, and a Lavender Pac.

Be sure to check your county’s participation in the program using the list below.

New York State Soil and Water Conservation Committee goals

According to the New York State Soil and Water Conservation Committee, their goals include establishing policy to guide New York’s 58 County Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and provide financial, technical, and educational support to assist them in developing and implementing programs.

They lead the state’s agricultural pollution control and resiliency programs, including the administration of Environmental Protection Funds for the Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control Grants and the Climate Resilient Farming Program.
