More trees getting planted through Iowa’s State Forest Nursery program

For the second consecutive year, more than 1 million seedlings were sold through Iowa's State Forest Nursery in fiscal year (FY) 2022-23, according to a report submitted in July to the Iowa Natural Resources Commission. The report by Jeff Goerndt, state forester, reflected a slight decrease in total sales over FY 2021-22, but included a significant increase in orders.
The State Forest Nursery offers landowners affordable, high-quality native plant material for use in timber production, wildlife habitat restoration, erosion control, and other conservation-related projects. Total sales were 1,049,425 during the most recent 12-month period.  That compares with 1,077,300 one year earlier.
