Conservation Forestry

Seedling Tree Sales Program
Wyoming's Conservation Districts distributed 263,250 seedling trees to Wyoming citizens during the 2007 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, visit the Laramie County Conservation District Seedling Tree Section.

For more information on programs in your area, contact your local Conservation District.

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.
