On Tuesday, February 2, 2021 the Northern VA Soil & Water Conservation District will accept online orders for our annual native tree and shrub seedling sale.

This program is offered in partnership with the Virginia Department of Forestry’s Potomac Work Area and Fairfax County’s Urban Forestry Management Division.
In addition, the Virginia Department of Forestry needs help in counting all of the trees and shrubs planted through our sale, as well as other trees planted over the next four years. Every tree makes a difference in protecting and improving water quality. Residents may add their planted trees to the My Tree Counts app: https://arcg.is/WryDG. On this app, residents can report their tree and shrub plantings made since October 1, 2020, read about other tree planting projects in Virginia, and learn why trees are so good at protecting water quality.
