Tree Seedling Program

Saddle Hills County initiated a Tree Seedling Program in the spring of 2023, for residents to order tree species for planting within Saddle Hills County boundaries. There are a variety of species available through the Agricultural Services Department.

For details on individual species, we have compiled a handy brochure: Shelterbelt Species Quick Facts.

If you are interested in learning about which tree species are most suited to our area, please visit our Tree Resources page to see a list of Cold Hardy Prairie Trees. There is also a variety of other information, including articles and fact sheets on tree care, as well as a Tree Resources Booklet, for those interested in learning more. 

For a full list of the species, prices, and to place an order, please complete a Tree Seedling Order Form. Species will be removed as they sell out.

To be eligible to participate, you must be a registered landowner in Saddle Hills County and trees can only be planted within the County's boundaries. 

• Participants will be restricted to one order per year.
• Participant order fulfillment could be limited based on available supply.
• Participants shall have completed the Tree Seedling Order Form and Agreement prior to planting.

County staff will be responsible for placing the seedling orders and coordinating pick-up dates and times with the participants.

If you have any questions about the program, please contact our Agricultural Services Department at (780) 864-3760 or email ag@saddlehills.ab.ca
