CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Division of Forestry officials are accepting orders for bare root tree seedlings at the forest tree nursery in West Columbia, W.Va. Clements State Tree Nursery grows and sells both deciduous and conifer seedlings that landowners can plant for reforestation, erosion control, Christmas trees, shelter belts, windbreaks, strip-mine reclamation or wildlife habitat. This year the nursery offers 22 different types of tree seedlings, including American and Chinese chestnuts, sycamore, black walnut and various species of pine and oak.
To help landowners decide which species meet their needs, the Forestry Division created a new seedling catalog that can be downloaded from the Web site, www.wvforestry.com. Because many species sell out early, landowners are encouraged to order as early as possible. Orders are shipped starting the week of Thanksgiving.
To request a catalog and order form by mail, call the nursery at (304) 675-1820, or e-mail Jason.L.Huffman@wv.gov. Completed order forms and payments should be mailed to Clements State Tree Nursery, P. O. Box 8, West Columbia, WV 25287. Order forms also are available from the Division of Forestry’s regional offices in Farmington, Romney, Beckley, Parkersburg and Milton.
For more information about tree seedlings, contact Superintendent Jason Huffman at (304) 675-1820.
