In recognition of the service and sacrifice by members of the armed forces, the North Carolina Forest Service is offering a 20% discount on tree seedling orders placed by active or retired military personnel during the month of November 2019. This discount applies to the first $500 of all new orders, up to a $100 discount.

Said Steve Troxler, Commissioner of Agriculture:

“In honor of our active military personnel and veterans, we want to extend an incentive to them to regrow their forests after the timber has been cut, or to start a new forest on fallow land.

“We have a strong partnership with the military through the Sentinel Landscapes Program, which protects and develops agricultural and forestland around military bases in the state. Protecting agricultural and forestlands provides benefits to both the military and agriculture, which are North Carolina’s two largest industries.”

To qualify for the military discount, proof of service is required. A valid military ID, Department of Defense Form 214/215, or National Guard Bureau Form 22/22A is acceptable.

Standard shipping rates still apply.

Tree seedlings may be ordered from the NC Forest Service by calling 1-888-NCTREES or by visiting www.buynctrees.com.
