Each Spring, Ottawa Conservation District holds a tree seedling sale fundraiser that generates operating funds for the important work of the District. This tree sale offers a variety of primarily native and some naturalized tree & shrub seedlings. The tree seedlings offered are bareroot seedlings that are typically 6-18 inches in length, and are sold in quantity bundles of 10, 25, 50, and 100 seedlings. Additionally, we recently started offering a small variety of individually potted trees.
Click here to download our 2026 Tree Sale Catalog. Species available through our sale changes year to year, but we always have a variety of conifers, deciduous, small trees, and shrubs.
Make sure to visit our Native Plant Sale page for information on our spring and fall sales focusing on smaller flowering plants, grasses, and shrubs.
For questions, or to place an order over the phone, please reach out to ottawacd@macd.org or call the office at 616-842-5852 Ext. 5.
Things to keep in mind while planting trees…
Trees provide us with a variety of services, including keeping your home cooler in the summer, attracting backyard wildlife, or providing habitat for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. When selecting the perfect tree for your space, think about these questions:
- Will it thrive in your area’s growing zone?
- Can your site support its specific water, light or soil needs?
- How big will it grow? Will roots or branches interfere with building foundations or power lines?
- Is it native or non-native? A healthy mix of native trees provides the most benefits to insects and wildlife
You can find the answers to these questions in our tree catalog linked above. When you are ready to get a shovel in the dirt, make sure to call 811 or visit MISS DIG online first. Pros will mark utility lines for free so you can avoid making costly mistakes. You shouldn’t have to worry too much about hitting any lines with our bareroot seedlings, however it is good to know where your lines are to avoid planting a tree on top of them!
