Spring Tree Sale
No Mail-In Orders After January 31st,
Online & Walk-In Sales Only
The Portage SWCD Tree Sale is a beloved tradition in the county. The sale provides an opportunity for Northeast Ohio landowners to purchase native plants at wholesale prices. Native plants are the foundation of the ecosystem that supports us: they help to clean our air, filter our water and keep our soil in place. Native plants even increase the pollination services of bees within a given area! Adding native plants to your landscape is an easy way to promote the conservation of our natural resources for future generations. Please consider supporting our conservation efforts by selecting a few plants for your yard.
2023 Ohio Tree Farm of the Year:
The Schmukis’ first experience with forestry was in 1994 on their dairy farm in Stark County. A sawmill nearby made them an offer to timber the woods on the farm. They were interested but wanted to get another opinion on their woods first. Patsy knew Koral and Randy Clum, who were both ODNR service foresters at the time, through her work with the Wayne Soil and Water District. Randy was the service forester for Stark County. The award recognizes farms certified by the American Tree Farm System, and its core values are wood, water, recreation, and wildlife, Walters said. The organization also puts a big emphasis on family-owned woodlands. The Schmukis exemplify that idea.
