State Forest Nurseries

This week we celebrate a landmark moment in Minnesota history - the 1-billionth tree seedling will be selected to be placed in cold storage for planting next spring. This represents 80 years of conservation and forest management efforts by dedicated DNR and state nursery employees. Watch the video of Commissioner Holsten lifting the seedling for overwintering at General Andrews Nursery in Willow River.

The 1- billionth tree seedling will be lifted from its nursery bed and put into storage for the upcoming spring planting season; order your tree seedlings from the Minnesota state forest nurseries now to be part of history.

Note: Seedlings available through this program can only be planted in the state of Minnesota.
