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.
