Jun 18th, 2009 | By Bob Conrad | Category: Conservation, Forestry, NewsCARSON CITY – The Nevada Division of Forestry’s State Nursery in Washoe Valley is selling conservation plants and trees that are on the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency’s approved plant list.
The nursery is designed to assist landowners by providing plant material suitable for conservation uses such as windbreaks, soil erosion control, water conservation and wildlife habitats.
The plants are all grown and maintained at the nursery and are conditioned to survive northern Nevada’s cold winters and hot summers. Most plants are available for $2.25.
The nursery is open to the public from 8:30 am to 3 pm Thursday through Saturday until mid-October. Plants are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For a list of available species, please call the nursery at 775-849-0213 or for the nursery policy and plant list, please visit http://www.forestry.nv.gov.
The nursery is located in Washoe Valley at 885 Eastlake Blvd. The NDF nursery encourages buyers to recycle plant containers at the nursery and it will accept any plastic containers larger than 4 inches.
Hi there, I was wondering if the Walker River Paiute Tribe could get some trees to plant for Earth Day in our park and pow wow grounds. I would request cotton wood, maybe Russian Olive as that is kind of what grows naturally here. Our park is next to the Walker River and we hold our Annual Pinenut Festival there. Some of the trees have died and need to be replaced as they were cut sown for safetys sake. Thank you for your time.

Hi Gina, I forwarded your question to our Division of Forestry.
