County Extension Dept. in your area is a place to start. I have done this in the area I live and tree's are 1.50 or so for one tree. This would be another option for you. It may be an AG service you have in the County or State you are from. This is the time of year to see if they have a program. I have ordered about this time of year when I did it.

Your state nursery will probably be your least expensive place to purchase trees. The extension dept. neb mentioned will have the info, or you can find it on Google

Found the university of idaho website very usefull and trees are $2 each but am not sure which kind to order? Quaken aspen,juniper and lodge pole pine seem to be the most hearty choices

When I was 12 my dad bought trees from the local state nursery, 220,000 red , scotch , blue spruce and white spruce. All for $.04 each. After they were in the ground the state had a look and if they were done right we got three cents a tree back. Now I sell each tree for a $100, fallen and limbed on a landing, although after thinning a few times I don't think I have a forth left. It always shocks me how much they have grown, 80' tall and 16'' diameter at the stump.

Mike, I think the lodgepole pines are the norm for the mountains in that region and the quaking aspens are usually in draws with lots of moist soil (water)
