About the event
Lane County Chapter of Oregon Small Woodlands Association will host its Annual Seedling & Native Plant Sale on Saturday, February 3rd, 2024 at Alton Baker Park (100 Day Island Road, Eugene - Building B: east end of the park). Hours are 8:00 to 11:00 or until sold out (please arrive early to receive a number for entrance – sales are on a first come first serve).Â
While waiting to enter pavilion, Oregon Dept. of Forestry representative, Dan Menk, Stewardship Forester with Oregon Department of Forestry, and Lauren Grand, OSU Extension Forester, will be on hand to answer questions. Once the sale begins, folks will be asked to enter as numbers are called.
This annual popular event offers a range of bare root/plug native seedling trees and native bare root plants, and potted Oregon White Oak. Due to limited supply from the nurseries, some species will sell out early. To provide seedlings for those coming to the sale, a limit of 100 maximum of each species will be in place from 8:00-9:00 (Douglas-fir does not have a limit). After 9:00 any quantity can be acquired. (Thanks for the understanding; the last few years some early purchasers took every single tree available; this is an attempt to provide trees and plants to as many folks as possible).
