WHERE
Orders are to be picked up at the Dauphin County Agriculture and Natural Resources Center, 1451 Peters Mountain Road, Dauphin. This facility is two miles north of Dauphin Borough on Route 225 between Clarks Creek and Peters Mountain. From Harrisburg, take Route 322 West to the Halifax exit, take the ramp towards Halifax. This turns into Route 225 North, which is Peters Mountain Road. Follow Route 225 for approximately 1.8 miles and look for the green tree signs on your right.

DCCD reserves the right to substitute a different size seedling for any species pending availability and severe growing conditions. If any one species is sold out, the District will refund payment for those seedlings not available. All seedlings must be purchased by placing a prepaid order. Survival rates of bareroot seedlings vary from site to site, from excellent to poor. We strive to provide the most viable seedlings available and all efforts are made to handle seedlings in order to prevent root stress. DCCD will not insure successful plantings of bareroot seedlings, as our suppliers will not insure seedling survival.
