The Central Texas Restoration
& Recovery Program supports reforestation programs by providing landowners
with seedlings that will grow well in Central Texas. Each year, seed is
collected from native trees throughout Central Texas and grown at
West
Texas Nursery. These native seedlings are ideal for landowners who have
been affected by drought, wildfire, flooding or diseases.
Seedling availability varies annually, but some previous species include Baldcypress, Bur Oak, Cedar Elm, Chinkapin Oak, Green Ash, Mexican Buckeye, Mexican White Oak, Pecan, Sugar Hackberry and Texas Redbud. These are sold in bundles of 10 per
species for $40/bundle. Orders are accepted - while supplies last - from
Sept
ember 1 to October 31. Seedlings are then delivered to designated
Central Texas pick up locations in early November. To learn more or to sign up to receive email notification when the program begins each fall, call 806-892-3572 or email
