The Catahoula Ranger District has a seed orchard and nursery that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934. The Orchard and its water reservoir, which is now Stuart Lake, was named in honor of Robert Y. Stuart who was Chief of the Forest Service (1928-1933).
Stuart Seed Orchard is primarily first-come, first-served. Use the availability view to gauge how busy it is before you go.
