SSEA and Tay Township 2026 Seedling Distribution Program
ORDER YOUR SPRING TREES NOW – DEADLINE WEDNESDAY JANUARY 21, 2026
Severn Sound Environmental Association and Tay Township are working together to provide property owners with reasonably priced, native tree and shrub seedlings for planting in early spring 2026.
Tree seedlings must be pre-ordered. The deadline for ordering is Wednesday, January 21, 2026. A limited number of seedlings are available, and the program often sells out of many species – order early to avoid disappointment.
Seedlings are bare-root plants (i.e., not potted) and are sold in bundles of 10. The age, size and cost of seedlings varies by species:
