The Steamboat Springs Middle School science classes spend time each year studying tree ecology. We have learned the importance of trees, and the various roles they play on our ecosystem. In 1993, we held our first tree sale. The money we raised bought the climbing wall at the middle school. The sale has continued each year, and we now sell an average of 1000 trees per year. We have used the money to pay for many things including donations to the local fire department, Yampatika, and Advocates. This program was recognized by the state and the Colorado Tree Coalition for its excellence. In 2003, the program won the "Commutitree Award."

Our tree sale occurs each year in May. We sell nursery grown Spruce (height 4 to 10 feet), Cottonless Cottonwoods (6 to 16 feet), Aspen (6 to 12 feet), Lilac Bushes, and more. Our prices are excellent and our suppliers are top notch.
