Every spring and fall, the Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District holds its Tree and Fish sales. The proceeds from the sales benefit our environmental education programs which are offered to all residents of Geauga County.  

Tree Sale:  April 24, 2010

Order deadline: March 30, 2010

The annual Tree Sale is held in the Spring and offers a wide variety of tree seedlings, ground covers, bird nesting boxes and feeders.  We offer these items at a lower cost than most commercial nurseries and greenhouses.  Tree sale orders are picked up at the Heritage Village building on the Geauga County Fairgrounds.  Click here to download the 2010 Tree and Fish Sales order form.

Fish Sale:  April 8, 2010

Order deadline: April 2, 2010

The bi-annual Fish Sales are held in both Spring and Fall, and offer a wide variety of fish including Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Bluegill, Sunfish, Minnows, and White Amurs. When stocking your pond with fish, you should know both the surface area and the volume of water that your pond holds. Fish sale orders are picked up on the mid-way at the Geauga County Fairgrounds. Click here to download the 2010 Tree and Fish Sales order form.

Calculating Pond Size  

The surface acreage equals the length in feet, times the width in feet, divided by 43,560. You can usually regard an irregular shaped pond as a rectangle or square and compute the area from straight boundary lines, which are about equal to your actual shoreline.

Measure the total distance in feet around the outer edge of your pond. Multiply this number by itself, and then divide by 547,390. Your answer will equal the surface area of your pond.
