Tree Sale

Calumet County’s Land and Water Conservation Department (LWCD) hosts an annual Tree Sale. 

Our goals are to encourage environmental conservation and provide the community with the opportunity to purchase trees and shrubs at an affordable price.  

LWCD buys the trees in bulk from local nurseries and then our staff separate the seedlings into smaller orders to distribute to the Calumet Community.

2026 ONLINE Ordering is now LIVE:  https://calumet-county.square.site/

What’s Available?illustration of green plant with leaves showing the brown root

  • Bare-Root Seedlings

    • Size - Approx. 6 inches to 1.5 feet tall 
    • Sold in bundles of 25 
    • Select trees only available in bundles of 5
    • Evergeens & Conifers | Deciduous Trees | Fruit Trees | Shrubs

  • Soil Moist/Root Gel

  • Tree Planter Bars

  • Deer Repellant

People ask us about why we only offer bare-root stock and not potted; but did you know that bare-root trees and shrubs have their own benefits? Trees and shrubs that don’t have their roots restricted by containers acclimate to new locations more quickly and often grow larger than species transplanted from pots.

What do trees do for us?

Air Conditioners: Apart from providing some much needed shade on warm days, trees also release a small amount of water vapor from their leaves that helps cool the air. Within 5 years of planting, one single tree can bring you 3% energy savings and 12% within 15 years. Strategically placed trees that shade your home can lower indoor temperatures as much as 20 degrees - saving you even more money!

Flood Mitigators: One tree can soak up over 2,000 gallons of stormwater runoff every year helping to keep your basements dry and your favorite walking paths sneaker friendly!

Air Purifiers: One mature tree can provide the oxygen supply required for 2-4 people all year long. That same tree will absorb over 48 lbs. of carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere every year!

Therapists: No, trees won’t ask how you’re feeling - but it’s been proven that time spent in nature, particularly time spent around trees, can significantly reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and lessen symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Guardians of Wildlife: It’s not only what trees do for us humans, it’s what they do for all of us Earthlings. Trees protect and provide for so much of the wildlife that we enjoy watching, studying, hunting, and fishing.
