Conservation Trees & Shrubs

The 2019 Seedling Tree Season is now over.  The NCCD sold over 8,000 trees this year!  

Our nursery offers seedling trees from 18" to 6' tall with nicely developed root balls, perfect for starting a windbreak, shelterbelt or living snow fence. 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 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.


Tree orders for arrival in May of 2020 will begin in October of 2019.  Please utilize the contact us link to get on the email list for the new tree order form. 

In May of 2019, NCCD sold over 8,000 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 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!
