2024-2025 Ordering Details 

How does the Wild Roots Landowner Program work this year?  

When you order a Miracle Tube Tree Protector package, you’ll reserve 25 tubes for pickup at your local conservation district’s Spring 2025 Seedling Sale. You’ll also receive a $50 voucher to use toward native seedlings at that sale. 

Reserve your Miracle Tube Tree Protectors this fall/winter (supplies are limited!) and then use your voucher in late winter/early spring (February-March) to reserve native trees or shrub species through your local conservation district’s 2025 spring seedling sale. The $50 voucher will apply specifically to the conservation district’s 2025 spring seedling sale that you select when purchasing the Miracle Tube Tree Protectors. 

Note: Stakes are not included with the tree tubes.  

How do I get my voucher? 

The voucher will be in the form of your confirmation email. The 4-digit confirmation code will serve as your voucher number.  For orders with two packages, the confirmation code/voucher number will be worth $100.  

Is there a limit to how many Miracle Tube Tree Protector packages I can buy?  

Yes, the total number of packages an individual can buy is two!  

How do I know when to use my voucher?  

Just before your local conservation district begins accepting orders for their 2025 Spring Seedling Sale, we’ll send you a reminder to use your $50 voucher. Please note that the voucher is valid only for purchasing native trees and shrubs from the district’s 2025 Spring Seedling Sale. 

Miracle Tube orders will be available for pickup at your conservation district’s designated location during their Spring Seedling Sale event, where you’ll also collect the native tree and shrub seedlings reserved with your voucher. 

When and where will I pick up my tree tubes and native seedlings? 

You can pick up your tree tubes and native seedlings at the specific conservation district’s 2025 Spring Seedling Sale where you placed your order. Pickup locations, dates, and times will be listed in each district’s “Description” section in the Shop listing (available November 25, 2024). While some pickup details are still being finalized, the reminder email you receive this spring will include all the final information.

  • 2 reusable zip ties and bird netting for each tube
