Colorado State Forest Service Nursery
https://csfs.colostate.edu/seedling-tree-nursery/
The Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) Nursery, located on the Foothills Campus of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, is the state’s leader in producing low-cost, Colorado-grown seedling trees and shrubs for conservation purposes. In keeping with its mission, the CSFS Nursery produces a variety of species for landowners and land managers, all selected for their hardiness and adaptability, and ideally suited for conservation purposes. Situated on 130 managed acres used for field production of bare root seedlings, the CSFS Nursery also utilizes 18,000 square feet of greenhouse space for container plant production. More than 40 species are produced at the Nursery, with ideal selections available for all of Colorado’s diverse environments, and we continuously conduct trials to identify new species that will address the needs of landowners. The CSFS Nursery sells approximately 1 million seedlings each year to private landowners, largely through a network of cooperators. The CSFS Nursery is the state’s leader in producing low cost plant material for conservation applications. The nursery provides plant material to landowners through a network of cooperators, via shipping and walk in customers at the nursery location.
