Reminder that state nursery now open
By the Nevada Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources
This is a reminder that the Nevada Division of Forestry State Tree Nursery in Washoe Valley opened for the season on May 12, 2011.
The nursery is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 3 pm Thursday through Saturday until October 15, 2011.
The nursery is designed to assist landowners by providing plant material suitable for conservation uses such as, but not limited to, 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.
Plants will be available on a first-come, first-serve 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 www.forestry.nv.gov. Most species are available in D-pots for $2.25 and T-pots for $3.50.
The nursery is located in Washoe Valley at 885 Eastlake Boulevard.
