Nature's Native Tree Project
We’re inviting people in the Louisa & Muscatine Communities to purchase a tree from Tri-Rivers through Nature’s Native Tree Project.

For $45 you can purchase a 3-Gallon size tree or for $60 you can purchase a 5-Gallon size tree. Trees are native, deciduous, RPM trees that are 2.5-5 feet tall (depending on the species for the 3-Gallon) and 4-6 foot tall (depending on the species for the 5-Gallon size). These trees are of the highest quality due to their Root Production Method of growing from seed to tree and come in a root container size of 11” X 7 1/8” or even bigger root container size for the 5-Gallon.

The tree order deadline is April 20th, 2026 at 6 pm. Pickup date is tentatively April 24th after 4:30 pm at the LCCB Office.
