CANTON -- The St. Lawrence County Soil and Water Conservation District is accepting orders for its 2018 annual tree seedling and shrub program now through Tuesday, March 20.

Quantities are limited and the district recommends submitting orders by early March to have the best chance of fulfillment.

Small 1- to 3-year-old bare root seedlings of many types will be available.

Prices start at $1.10 and go up to $3.20 each depending on the species ordered. Minimum order is 10 of one species unless otherwise specified or you can order by the thousands.

Some prices decrease with quantity.
