Conservation Trees & Shrubs
The 2014-2015 Conservation Seedling Tree Sale has started.  Click HERE for the latest order form.  All ordering instructions are with the order form.  Order now for delivery in May of 2015.  Order early for the best selection as the nursery does sell out of items. 

Natrona County Conservation District's Seedling Tree & Shrub Program provides affordable yet quality tree and shrub stock for planting effective living windbreaks and erosion control barriers in rural areas and on small acreages.  Non-potted seedling trees only cost between $1.00 to $2.20 per tree!  Trees are sold in bundles of 10 or 25 depending upon the size of the tree ordered.  

 

In May of 2014, NCCD sold over 6300 seedling trees & shrubs for conservation purposes.  While most trees and shrubs are sold as "bare-root" (as shown below), we do offer some potted species.  These sell out quickly, so order soon!
