ABOUT THE WEBINAR:



Just as relationships with community residents are the key to successful tree planting and stewardship projects, relationships with tree nursery owners and managers are the key to the growth and delivery of quality plant materials. In this webinar, we will explore best practices and model agreements between landscape tree buyers and sellers. Join us to learn how communities and project leaders can contract with nursery tree vendors to select, grow out, and receive high quality trees for successful planting projects!
