Conservation Trees & Shrubs
|
It is time to order seedling trees again! Trees ordered between October of 2024 through April 10th, 2025, will be delivered to Casper in May of 2025. The NCCD cannot ship trees to other locations. All trees must be picked up in Casper. Click HERE for the 2025 Tree Order Form.
Once again, the demand for seedling trees and shrubs will be high. I will continue to update the order form to account for seedling stock that is no longer available. Please order early!
The NCCD'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. Our nurseries offer seedling trees from 18" to 6' tall with nicely developed root balls, perfect for starting that windbreak! Bareroot (non-potted) seedling trees cost between $1.60 to $5.00 per tree! Trees are sold in bundles of 10 or 25 depending upon the size of the tree ordered.

In May of 2022, NCCD sold over 7,000 seedling trees & shrubs for conservation purposes. These trees and shrubs are sold as "bare-root" (as shown below). Species sell out quickly, so you have to order early!

Shelterbelts Booklet
NCCD, with assistance from a Wyoming Department of Agriculture Grant, has published a "Shelterbelts" booklet. It has information regarding tree selection and how to design a shelterbelt, whether it is to be used as a living snow fence, a windbreak, or a wildlife or stock shelter. To download a copy, CLICK HERE. If you would like a hard copy, please CONTACT US and we will mail you one!

Selection Information - The information links below were borrowed from other sites on the internet. In an effort to do the research for you, we have provided information on most of the species that we can order through our nurseries in alphabetical order, as well as some that we can no longer get, but are still worth researching. The nursery does have changes in availability of some species each year. Check the most up to date order form for availability!
