There’s another gravel bed tree nursey at Nathanael Greene Park, thanks to a grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Springfield’s Tree City USA committee received the grant to install a Missouri Gravel Bed tree nursery, which is alongside the city’s nursery facility, according to a news release from the city. The $10,000 grant, titled Tree Resource Improvement and Maintenance, are issued on an annual basis to fund many tree-related activities across the state.
“The grant provided all materials to build the gravel bed, purchase the irrigation and the initial purchase of an assortment of Missouri native trees to begin growing in the nursery,” according to the city.
