Oklahoma Forestry Services is holding its annual seedling
sales in communities across the state during the month of March. Forestry personnel
will be in Weatherford on Tuesday, Mar. 8 at the Deer Creek
Conservation District Office, 300 S. Broadway, from 9 a.m. ??" 12 p.m., where
they will be assisting customers and selling a variety of seedlings from a
refrigerated truck.

???Come by the seedling sale and visit with a
professional forester about your trees,??? said State Forester George Geissler. ???And
if you decide to buy seedlings, you'll be getting trees that are specifically
chosen because they thrive in Oklahoma.???

Services State Nursery, located south of Norman, from local seed sources that
are selected specifically because they perform well in Oklahoma's diverse
environment. Seedlings are bare-root, one or two years old, 10 to 30 inches in
