Ohio Soil and Conservation Divisions in each county have ten or so types of
trees that they sell in bundles every year. I believe that they can still be
ordered for spring delivery. The trees are small and should probably be
grown in a nursery setting for several years. It is an inexpensive way to
obtain a number of trees if you are willing to wait for a few years to
transplant them out. I have found it very difficult to set them out right
away and expect them to compete with other plants.

Other states may have similar programs. I know New York State does; 
trees come through your county Cooperative Extension office. Check with 
your local extension service (I know a lot of states have them, maybe 
all do); you'll probably also find a lot of other useful information for 
either the home grower or the professional.
The information available and the attitude of the agents can vary 
considerably from county to county (ours is great); if you have a bad 
experience on your first try, a neighboring county may be able to help 
you.
