What is the seedling program?
The Massachusetts Tree Wardens’ and Foresters’ Association
(MTWFA) sponsors an annual packaged seedling program as a
popular way to help municipalities, garden clubs, businesses, arborists
and other interested individuals and organizations promote Arbor Day.
The program is inexpensive, easy to implement, and readily embraced
by educators and others throughout the community. Net proceeds
from the seedling program support the MTWFA Scholarship Fund.
Scholarships are awarded annually in March to students enrolled in
arboriculture and urban forestry programs statewide.

How do the seedlings arrive?
The package includes seedling trees and printed plastic bags with planting instructions.
Upon delivery, the seedlings can be placed in the bags along with soil or peat moss for
distribution to school children and other Arbor Day participants.
The price list includes both evergreen and deciduous trees in two categories – seedlings
and transplants. The transplants are more developed in both roots and tops, but more
expensive. See the reverse side for details, prices and explanations.
All seedlings and transplant prices include bags, ties, shipping and handling. Minimum
order is 100 seedlings.
Limited availability - pre-bagged seedlings!
Once again we are offering a limited amount of pre-bagged evergreen seedlings. Minimum
orders start at 300. See the order form on the reverse side for details.
How can you distribute the seedlings?
Check with your local school department or municipality to obtain approval and an
estimate of the quantities you will require. Distribution of the seedlings may be
accompanied by a ceremony or presentation promoting Arbor Day, trees and their value to
people and the environment.
