Pick up extra trees from the WCCD sale on Saturday, April 27

If you missed the Washtenaw County Conservation District (WCCD) Tree Sale order deadline, there is still an opportunity to purchase trees for your conservation projects!

The WCCD will host a sale of all remaining tree and shrub inventory on Saturday, April 27 starting at 10 am at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds (5055 Ann Arbor-Saline Road). More than 800 bare root trees and shrubs will be offered for sale. Inventory of what is available will not be posted prior to the sale.

To participate in the extra tree sale on April 27, you must obtain a number card during the tree sale hours at the Farm Council Grounds (Friday, April 26 from 1-6 pm and Saturday, April 27 starting at 9 am). Customers are served in numerical order and must be present once their number is called. All remaining inventory will be available for purchase at that time. Residents from outside Washtenaw County are also welcome to participate in the sale.
