If you discover any discrepancies in the number or type of seedlings in your order, let us know by phone or in writing within three days of receipt. Please include your order number with all contacts. Seedling shortages can be substituted with another species of comparable worth, carried over for next year's shipment, or refunded at the value of the undelivered stock. Despite our best efforts we cannot control damage to our seedlings from shipment, off-nursery storage and handling, or adverse weather conditions. The true meaning of Maurice Schwen's life can be seen in the trees he's reared, whose shade he has never enjoyed.
Stewardship is our responsibility.
The seed of stewardship was planted. He returned to his Blue Earth home, planted trees, and began a tradition. May. Schwen has planted more than 150,000 trees since then. At 76, he shows no signs of slowing. Family members think I've fulfilled my stewardship responsibility.
