The Penn State Extension Master Watershed Steward Program of Bucks County is hosting its fourth annual online Native Tree and Shrub Fundraiser.
The sale which features a limited supply of 28 different native trees and shrubs that provide food, shelter, and nesting habitat for wildlife, as well as privacy, shade, foliage, and landscape beautification.
“There is something truly magical that happens when you start adding native species to the landscape. It’s one of the top ways to invite more birds, butterflies, and native bee species to your yard,” said Leah Zerbe, a nature columnist and Master Watershed Steward. “If you plant it, they will come.”
Planting trees and shrubs is also a great way to reduce flooding, stabilize soil, and filter pollutants. All trees and shrubs are native to Pennsylvania and sourced from a preeminent native plant nursery. Proceeds from this fundraiser support the Bucks County Master Watershed Steward program and its efforts to share education and inspire improvements within local watersheds. And remember, fall is one of the best times to plant new trees. Learn more about the tree sale by visiting https://extension.psu.edu/master-watershed-steward-native-tree-and-shrub-sale.
