SHAND GREENHOUSE SEEDLINGS AVAILABLE

Released on October 16, 2002

The SaskPower Shand Greenhouse in Estevan is now accepting applications for

tree and shrub seedlings for the 2003 planting year. The seedlings are

available at no cost to community and non-profit groups, as well as select

individuals for use in environmental, reclamation, conservation or wildlife

projects.



"The bulk of our seedlings are distributed to not-for-profit agencies,

service clubs, conservation agencies and individual land owners interested

in preserving and enhancing Saskatchewan's natural landscape," Crown

Investments Corporation Minister Maynard Sonntag said.



The greenhouse invests $500,000 each year to grow and distribute over

400,000 trees across Saskatchewan. Since 1991, it has distributed over 3

million tree and shrub seedlings.



"All trees absorb carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, so the annual

distribution and planting of thousands of trees contribute to efforts to

address the challenge of climate change," Sonntag said. "Programs like

this, which help offset greenhouse gas emissions, are an important part of

SaskPower's efforts to minimize the impact of our operations on our

environment."



Seedlings will be distributed for planting in early spring, along with

information on how to care for them. The seedlings will be delivered to

distribution points across the province for local pickup.



To determine if you or your organization qualifies for seedlings, or to

receive an application form, contact Shand Greenhouse at 634-9771 or 1-866-

SP TREES. A copy of the application is also available at
