Wyoming State Forestry, Natural Resource
Conservation Service, Dubois-Crowheart CD, Fremont
County Firewise and WACD hosted the 3rd annual
Wyoming Forestry Field Days in Dubois on June 25.
Over 30 private landowners and agency

about creating healthy forests, forestry management
techniques, identification and management of insects
and disease, best management practices and other
topics.
SEEDLING TREE SALES PROGRAM
Wyoming's Conservation Districts distributed 172,724
seedling trees to Wyoming citizens during the 2009
seedling tree program. Many of these seedlings
result in additional living snow fence and windbreak
plantings. These plantings provide phenomenal
aesthetic values, snow and wind control benefits,
and wildlife habitat. For more information on tree
plantings contact
your local Conservation District or Extension
Service.
Wyoming Department of Transportation - Living Snow
Fence Program
WACD has formed a partnership with Wyoming State
Forestry to design and install living snow fences
along public roadways in Wyoming. These windbreaks
will serve to reduce blowing and drifting snow,
increase public safety and enhance the aesthetic
value and the environment.
Bark

There are forests in Colorado, Wyoming, and South
Dakota that are experiencing bark beetle epidemics
