More than 50 Species Available from Colonel William F. Fox Memorial Saratoga Tree Nursery
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has announced the start of the Colonel William F.

Each year, the nursery offers low-cost, New York-grown tree and shrub species for sale to encourage conservation plantings and foster the next generation of forests.
There are many environmental, economic, and social reasons to plant trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making them a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. Trees also lower heating and cooling costs, provide food and shelter for native wildlife, improve water quality by filtering runoff, prevent erosion, and increase overall public health and well-being.
