Our tree program is complete for 2008 please check back to this site in October for price list and order form. The Scott Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) annually makes available thousands of transplant and seedling trees to county landowners. These trees are inexpensive and are of the finest stock from wholesale nurseries. We offer a wide choice of trees and shrubs in bundles of 25 per variety This program started in 1973 with just 7,900 trees and has grown to now offer 43,500 trees with 43 different varieties of evergreens, large and medium deciduous trees and shrubs. The tree program was started to promote conservation and help residents create a more beautiful, healthy and ecologically balanced environment. The SWCD’s Tree Program is considered by many to be a true community service. Many of the county’s farmstead and field windbreaks, wildlife habitat plantings, and reforestation efforts have been started as a result of this program. In more recent years, housing developments and community beautification projects have been added to the list of uses under the tree and shrub program. We encourage all residents to utilize the Tree Program to start or add to their own beautification plans by purchasing stock from the SWCD. Whether you own a city lot and want to plant a privacy hedge line or own a couple of acres and wish to plant a windbreak or shelterbelt our trees will meet all needs. We also offer technical advice on tree plantings for windbreaks and shelterbelts upon request. Here’s how the program works:
