Native Plant and Tree Sale
Our annual native plant sale typically happens on the second Saturday in March. It occurred this year on on Saturday, March 11 from 9 am to 3 pm and was a huge success. Come check out all the beautiful plants next year!
The location of the plant sale is indoors and in North Plains, conveniently located just off Hwy 26 at Exit 57. The address is:
30780 NW Highland Court
North Plains, Oregon 97133
The sale is perfect place to get some advice about native plants and buy plants that are sometimes difficult to find at regular nurseries. Most plants are potted, as noted in the plant list. We provide native plant experts to help with selection, boxes for handling and transporting the plants, and general volunteers to help collect and carry the plants to your vehicle. Credit cards, cash, and checks are welcome payment. Come early for the best selection.
All profits fund natural resource educational programs.

Seedling Sale – Order form in June Newsletter; pickup seedlings Jan/Feb
WCSWA has provided quality Douglas-fir and Western Red Cedar seedlings to our members since 1999. The Douglas-fir seedlings are grown for Washington County Small Woodlands Association (WCSWA) at Lewis River Reforestation in Woodland, Washington using Dallas High Gain Douglas-fir seeds provided by the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Dallas Block at Schroeder Seed Orchard. These seedlings have superior growing characteristics and are intended to maximize growing potential. They are not genetically modified organisms, but are the result of breeding parent trees with superior growing characteristics from trees selected from our area. The Western Red Cedar seedlings are purchased from Lewis River Reforestation seedling stock. This seedling program is an important service to members and a fund raising source for WCSWA. One-half of the profit funds the organization’s activities. The other half is donated to Oregon State University College of Forestry Scholarship Fund with priority given to forestry students from Washington County. Seedling order forms are sent out each summer with the WCSWA newsletter. For more information email Donald Sohler or Bob Shumaker at washcosmallwoodlandsassoc@gmail.com.
