Kenosha County’s Tree and Shrub program is now accepting online orders for spring delivery. The initiative allows residents to purchase bundles of 25 transplants and seedlings, including a selection of evergreens, hardwoods, and shrubs, at a cost of $28 per bundle.
The program aims to encourage local property owners to plant native trees for conservation purposes and to enhance wildlife habitats. "This is a great, low-cost opportunity for people to add trees and shrubs to their property, further beautifying our county," said County Executive Samantha Kerkman.
Trees and shrubs are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers are required to pick up their orders at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol, typically in late April. A confirmation email will be sent about two weeks before the scheduled pick-up date.
More information about the program can be found at www.kenoshacounty.org/Trees. Orders may be placed directly through kcplananddev.myshopify.com. Those interested are encouraged to order early, as inventory is limited and sales will continue until supplies run out.
Residents without internet access can make purchases in person using a credit card at the Kenosha County Division of Planning and Development office at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
For additional details or assistance, residents may call 262-857-1895.
