The Sweet Arrow Lake Conservation Association and Schuylkill Conservation District are again cooperating to sell quality seedlings for your property.

Tree seedlings increase property value, enhance wildlife habitat, beautify the landscape, improve the environment, and can provide a source of income.

The best part is that all proceeds raised in the seedling sale directly support Sweet Arrow Lake County Park, located just outside of Pine Grove off Route 443.

Past sale proceeds have paid for programs, such as Hershey Zoo America and for materials for a children’s nature camp.

Sweet Arrow Lake offers many recreational, social and educational opportunities for people of all ages. Almost 580,000 tree seedlings have been sold in the past to benefit the beauty of Schuylkill County. Offerings are available for small yards to large tracts of land.

Evergreens offered include: Eastern White Pine and Norway spruce. These trees are excellent ornamentals or Christmas trees and are good for windbreaks, landscaping, and dense screens. Hardwoods for sale include: red maple, redbud, red oak, white oak, chestnut oak, sugar maple, river birch, black chokeberry, bayberry, silky dogwood, and American cranberry.

These trees and shrubs will compliment any mix of evergreens and are beautiful no matter the time of year.
