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.
