ELKO, Nev. — Spring Creek High School and the Silver Sage FFA Chapter are once again holding their annual tree sale fundraiser to bring northeastern Nevadans a wide selection of conservation plant material at reasonable costs.
The tree and shrub seedlings range in price from $3.25 to $4.50 each depending on the size of the seedling and container. Plants are for conservation purposes on at least one acre of land.
Plants are sold on a pre-order basis only. The deadline to place a pre-order is May 5th, 2010. Pre-orders are to be picked up on either May 14 or 15 at the Spring Creek High School greenhouse, nine miles southeast on the Lamoille Highway.
