In recognition of the service of past and present members of the armed forces, the North Carolina Forest Service is offering a 20 percent discount on tree seedling orders placed by active or retired military personnel during the month of November. This discount applies to the first $500 of all new orders, up to a $100 discount.
“With Veteran’s Day approaching, we want to give our veterans and active military personnel an incentive to start a new forest on fallow land or regrow a forest after the timber has been cut,” said N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services works closely with our military partners through the Sentinel Landscapes Program to protect and grow agricultural and forest lands around military bases in the state. We’d like to offer this discount as a show of appreciation for the sacrifices our military members make for our nation.”
Proof of service is required to qualify for the discount. A valid military ID, Department of Defense Form 214/215 or National Guard Bureau Form 22/22A is acceptable. Standard shipping rates will still apply.Tree seedlings may be ordered by calling 1-888-NCTREES or by visiting www.buynctrees.com.
