Gardeners, landowners, and anyone looking to add a little green to their space have a limited-time opportunity to do just that while supporting local students.
The Lahontan Conservation District is once again partnering with the Churchill County High School Plant Systems Class for their annual tree and native plant sale, offering a wide selection of shrubs, trees, and hardy native plants suited for the region.
Orders must be placed by April 11, 2026, with plants available in limited quantities on a first-come, first-served basis.
The sale features a mix of species selected for local conditions, including options for windbreaks, wildlife habitat, erosion control, and general landscaping. Bare-root trees vary in size by species, and substitutions may be made if certain varieties sell out.
In addition to providing plants to the community, the project serves as a hands-on learning experience for students. Participants in the Plant Systems Class are involved in every step of the process, from growing and organizing inventory to designing order forms and completing sales.
Funds raised through the sale go directly back to support the program.
Pre-orders will be available for pickup on May 9 at Churchill County High School, with additional plants also available for purchase that day.
Organizers encourage community members to participate early, as availability is limited each year.
For those looking to improve their property while investing in local education, the annual sale offers a practical way to do both.
