The Forestry Division provides low\u2011cost seedlings for planting projects that support forest and watershed health in New Mexico. Since the program\u2019s establishment in the 1960s, it has supplied millions of seedlings for conservation plantings.<\/p>\n
Seedlings purchased through the program must be used for conservation plantings in New Mexico. Allowable uses include ecological restoration, wind protection, erosion control, wood products, tree farms, and planting or up-potting for urban or community forestry needs.<\/p>\n
