I’m sure every state has a division of forestry that will supply cheap trees. I lost one third of my hardwoods with the extinction of the American white ash. I’ve planted 1200 black walnuts to replace them, total cost $1200. Planting trees is an excellent and inexpensive idea. We don’t need some huge federal boondoggle to accomplish it.
“Planting trees is an excellent and inexpensive idea”
I fight global warming with my crop of weeds.
We don’t have ‘plant’ trees. Just stop mowing your yard and see what’s growing there in 10 years.
Where do you live? Black walnuts are considered weed trees in eastern Pa.
I don’t know about at the state level, but a lot of counties have some form of cheap tree program. I’ve gotten hazelnut bushes and black cherry trees that way. Hoping to plant even more after my house is built.
My county also has a seed-buying program, where the DNR pays for seeds from specific types of trees, which are then grown out to produce the trees they sell.
Since the amount made from selling trees for $1-$2 each is far greater than the amount paid buying seeds, it *might* be a self-supporting program. Those are rare in governments at any level.
