COLUMBUS, Ohio (AVC News) — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry has launched a new online ordering system to make it easier for Ohioans to purchase trees and shrubs grown at the Buckeye State Tree Nursery in Zanesville.
The Buckeye State Tree Nursery online ordering system is available at nursery.ohiodnr.gov, where customers can browse available species and place orders online. Customers can choose to pick up their seedlings at the nursery or have them shipped directly.
The nursery offers a variety of Ohio-grown species, including buckeye, pawpaw and American chestnut. The minimum purchase is 10 seedlings, while available species and quantities will vary throughout the year.
The Buckeye State Tree Nursery was established to increase the availability of locally grown seedlings for conservation projects across Ohio. Nursery staff planted more than 750,000 seedlings during its first two growing seasons, representing more than 30 native tree and shrub species.
Seedlings from the nursery have been used by private landowners and conservation projects for reforestation, wildlife habitat, windbreaks, state forests and nature preserves, abandoned mine land restoration and other natural resource projects.
ODNR Division of Forestry Chief Dan Balser said growing seedlings from seeds collected in Ohio helps provide planting stock suited to the state’s climate and growing conditions.
The nursery’s seedlings are available to support conservation tree planting projects throughout Ohio.
