Each Stoughton Conservation Club member may order up to 200 trees or shrubs in groups of 50 of any variety available.
The order is filled in the springtime, but we don’t get an exact date. We’ll let you know when they’re in, so you can pick up your orders.
Orders MUST be submitted no later than October 10, 2024.
First, take a look at the DNR website to find out what options are available:
https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/treeplanting/stockdescription
Decide what you want to order, in groups of 50, and send the request to: scctreesandshrubs@gmail.com
Please understand that not all orders will get filled depending on DNR stock!
If you have any questions email scctreesandshrubs@gmail.com
Question: Can I order 25 of something?
Answer: NO! The minimum order is 50.
Question: Can I still get an order in after October 10th?
Answer: NO! The DNR processes the orders first come, first served, so we won’t take any late orders.
Question: How and when do I pay for the trees I ordered?
Answer: You don’t! As part of SCC’s conservation efforts, the club covers the costs of the tree and shrub seedlings. You just have to do your part by planting them in the spring.
Fall is almost here, but you don’t have to wait until September 22 to join one of our Fall leagues.

During the Fall league you can shoot whatever you like each week, with both trap and skeet available. Usually there is a group that will shoot together and it varies what we might shoot each week. Some different options are available:
