Join us for a tour of the relatively new Verterra Tree and Shrub Nursery, a cooperatively owned nursery specializing in growing and propagating native trees and shrubs for conservation and residential plantings.  The three owners, David Berg, Nick Kierstead, and Sam have over 30 years combined agricultural experience.  They are deeply committed to the restoration and preservation of watersheds through native tree propagation.   Every aspect of their operations is guided by principles of ecological stewardship. From sourcing seeds responsibly to employing sustainable cultivation practices, they strive to minimize their environmental footprint while maximizing the positive impact of their efforts.

Verterra partners with conservation organizations, watershed management authorities, and local communities and actively contributes to the restoration and protection of critical riparian zones and wetland habitats. Through these collaborative initiatives, they aim to not only plant trees but also to nurture thriving ecosystems that are resilient to environmental challenges.
