Licking County Soil & Water Conservation District is proud to offer 16 native species for the annual tree seedling sale. 

Trees are such an important part of our daily life. 

We appreciate their beauty as leaves change colors in the fall and their shade on a hot summer day.  We look forward to their buds bursting open in spring.  But trees do so much more for us every day.  They give us: 

- clean air to breathe by absorbing carbon dioxide and expelling oxygen;

- they slow down raindrops to protect our soil from eroding;

- their roots loosen the compacted soil so stormwater soaks in;

- they help us save money on energy bills, and

- they increase our property values

Licking Soil & Water has partnered with multiple Soil & Water Conservation Districts around the state to provide high quality, native tree seedlings. Customers will choose the county to pick up from during check out.

Please remember all sales, regardless of order date, are subject to availability and confirmation. Licking SWCD reserves the right to make reasonable substitutions if our vendors’ supplies are limited.

Due to inventory limitations, if you are interested in ordering more than 300 seedlings of the same species, please contact your Soil & Water for availability.

Interested in a species not listed? Special orders must be a minimum of 100 of the same species and dependent on nursery availability and pricing.

The Auditor of State now requires all Soil & Water Conservation Districts to charge sales tax. If you use this online catalog, you will be charged Licking County's tax of 7.25% regardless of which county you pick up in.

If you choose to order directly with your Soil & Water office with a hard copy order form, you will pay the tax of your county. Contact your Soil & Water directly for the form.

Our catalog is not configured to remove the tax, so if you are tax exempt, please use the printed order form from your county and submit it directly to them with payment and tax exempt form.

Licking County customers can find the hard copy order form and Ohio blanket tax exemption form available for download on this page. Look for the link to download under the heading "Trees are such an important part of our daily life."

Native Shrubs, Small Trees and Fruit Bearing

Woodlands remove excess nutrients, pollutants, and soil from rainwater runoff and snow melt. Trees also reduce flooding by absorbing water directly; by improving soil structure, which increases the amount of water they soak up; and by simply slowing the movement of stormwater.

Native Large Trees

Planting trees has many benefits: improved wildlife habitat, high-quality trees for timber or specialty wood products, revegetated buffers along streams to protect water quality, increased species diversity and resiliency, enhanced attractiveness, and a more valuable estate for your family or heirs.

Native Large Conifer Trees

Pine trees are one of the most varied and widely spread genus of native tree species in North America. Adapted to so many environments, pine trees are hardy survivors in their native habitat. Today native pines are one of the most valuable commercial timber sources and continue to be used for construction, furniture, pulpwood, land management and more.
