Military, veterans discounts on tree seedlings

Military, veterans discounts on tree seedlings

Beginning Nov. 11, the N.C. Forest Service is offering a 20% discount on tree seedling orders placed by active, honorably discharged or retired military personnel throughout November. The discount applies to the first $500 of all new orders, up to a $100 discount. 

“North Carolina is home to many woodland owners who are veterans or current military members serving to preserve our freedoms,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “This discount is a token of our appreciation which aims to assist with their efforts toward keeping North Carolina’s forests healthy and thriving.”

To qualify for the discount, proof of service is required. A valid military ID, DD 214/215 or National Guard Bureau Form 22/22A is acceptable. Standard shipping rates still apply. Tree seedlings may be ordered by calling 1.888.NCTREES or visiting buynctrees.com.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
