For more than fifty years, the Division has offered low-cost seedlings to landowners to plant for reforestation, erosion control, windbreaks, streambank restoration, and wildlife habitat improvement.. Since 1960, more than four million trees have been planted throughout New Mexico that were purchased through this program.
The Forestry Division offers
 more than sixty different species for sale over the course of the fall 
and spring sales. These seedlings are sold in small containers, large 
containers, and/or bare root. Not all species are available in all 
types.  Large containers and bare root are more limited in the species 
available.
Please note   all containerized species are 
offered in the fall and bare root species and any remaining 
containerized species are offered in the spring. We  switched to this 
schedule because it has been shown that fall is a highly successful time
 to plant containerized seedlings. Plants have time to establish roots 
over the winter while dormant before putting on top growth in the spring
 and as an added bonus the weather is better for planting! Select your 
shipping or pickup date so that you can plant your seedlings five to six
 weeks before your area of the state starts having hard freeze days.  
For questions about prices and minimum order size refer to ordering 
information.
