Report on 2022 TREE SALE
Our March 19th Public Tree Sale was a rousing success. Our crew of 30 volunteers sold a mix of mostly native trees and shrubs to an eager crowd and we were completely sold out of our entire stock of 9485 plants by 10:30. CFFA holds both this public sale and an earlier members-only sale of reforestation trees, and between the two sales has provided over 101,000 trees and shrubs to CFFA members and residents of the county this year. That’s a lot of land stewardship happening in our local forests! We were fortunate to have several Master Gardeners helping at our public tree sale to answer questions and help with tree selection. Tree sale funds are used for scholarships.
