Willow,
Thank you, thank you thank you! for volunteering to help out on this by contacting the growers.
I have attached information on Young Eagles as well as a list of tree growers with contact info. I am sending a copy of this note to Keith Pugh and Henry Pflegl and they may have additional info to add or may suggest changes in what I have written.
We have an offer of 50 trees from Dan Green (not on the list), so that's a start.
The most we can handle is probably about 250 more.
I can see a couple ways we can approach this. One is to make contact soon, so they can keep us in mind and think about what they are going to do with left over trees, if they have any. Then we call back around December 1 when all the trees have been shipped. The second way is to just call once, around December 1.
Some growers will hold on to left over trees, hoping they will find a local buyer (retailer) who needs more trees. Others may just want to get done with the project and will be willing to let us have them right away so we can start selling the first weekend in December.
Growers need to understand certain things:
We are asking for a donation of trees, not looking to buy--we don't have any money.
We are a non-profit.
We don't expect we can handle more than 250 more trees and we will be contacting multiple growers. Any number of trees up to 250 is good and we are grateful. But if grower A offers 25, that's wonderful, and if grower B offers 50 we can't handle more than 175 from grower C even if he offers 250.
We are hoping for baled trees. On the other hand, beggars can't be choosers, so we'll take what we can get. Most trees left over are baled, so this will probably not be an issue.
The grower doesn't have to do anything beyond giving us permission and access to the trees. We'll pick up and haul.
Either nobles or Doug firs are OK.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
