The Central Texas Restoration & Recovery Program supports conservation and reforestation efforts by providing Central Texas landowners with seedlings that will grow well in their area. Each year, seed is collected from native trees throughout Central Texas and grown at West Texas Nursery. These native seedlings are ideal for landowners who have been affected by drought, wildfire, flooding or diseases, such as oak wilt.
Seedling availability varies annually, but some previous species that have been produced include Baldcypress, Bur Oak, Cedar Elm, Chinkapin Oak, Green Ash, Mexican Buckeye, Mexican White Oak, Pecan and Texas Redbud. These are sold in bundles of 10 per species for $45/bundle. Orders are accepted - while supplies last - from September 1 to October 31. Seedlings are then delivered to designated Central Texas pick up locations in early November.
