Message from the Snohomish Conservation District:
The 2009 "Conservation Plant Sale" kicks off on December 1st, when pre-orders begin. The 2009 brochure and order form are now on our website at: http://www.snohomishcd.org/plant-sale.
New this year on the website is a fill-able order form that can be filled out on-line and printed, then mailed or faxed to our office. This helps us because the orders will be legible and it helps you because it does the math! When you print you name on page 2, it will add your name to page 1 for us.
There is also an excel file on the website that can be filled out, saved on your computer, and then emailed to: treesaleorders@snohomishcd.org.
Please note that neither of these order forms link to our inventory of plants, and that you still need to wait to receive your white confirmation before mailing a check in. We do not
accept credit or debit cards. Checks, cash and money orders only, please.

Dec 6th: Help Salvage Native Plants!
Join other volunteers digging up trees and shrubs from this site scheduled for development. In the afternoon, we’ll be potting up the salvaged plants so they can recuperate before going to King County habitat restoration sites. Once replanted, these native plants will help reduce erosion, shade streams and provide habitat. Special thanks to Murray Franklyn LLC for providing the salvage site.
As always, volunteers that dig for our program for at least a couple hours in the morning are welcome to stay after and dig additional plants to take home. Volunteers that help pot up plants in the afternoon will also be able to take some “thank you” plants home.
When: Saturday, December 6, 2008
Time: 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. salvage at site,
1 p.m. to 4 p.m. potting at Holding Facility
