Tree Nursery

History
​
​
In 1950 the Nursery was started.  The land on which the Nursery is located was leased from the Henning family.  After Ed Henning passed away Vera Henning continued the life lease of $2,000 annually.  This lease ended with the passing of Vera Henning in December of 1999 when the ownership was then transferred to the Newaygo Conservation District.

Today


The Newaygo Conservation District Nursery provides bare-root seedlings in bulk to Conservation Districts throughout the State of Michigan and to residents for reforestation, afforestation, wildlife planning, and erosion control. 

Over the past three years, over 1.5 million seedlings have been sold through the NCD Nursery. Trees grown at our Nursery are native to Michigan.​

Established in 1950, Dan Shue is the current Nursery Manager.

Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all of its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where
applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, political beliefs, genetic information, reprisal, or because all
