*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced it has 2-year-old oak seedlings available for purchase. The seedlings are from Wisconsin’s Wilson State Nursery and are ready for planting.

The seedlings are available because of a high-quality acorn crop and harvest in 2022. While many 1-year-old seedlings were purchased last year, others were grown for another year, resulting in a bumper crop of 2-year-old seedlings. Oak trees are ideal for reforesting a property, enhancing habitat or starting an oak grove.

Four species of native oak trees are available for sale at the nursery: swamp white oak, bur oak, white oak and red oak.

Wilson State Nursery produces seedlings for reforestation [ [link removed] ], operating under Wisconsin State Statutes that require DNR seedlings to be produced and used for reforestation purposes – future forest products, wildlife habitat, erosion control and wind mitigation. The minimum order is 300 seedlings.

For more information or to purchase seedlings, visit the DNR website [ [link removed] ] or contact Carey Skerven at [email protected] or 715-424-3700.
