This program encourages landowners to plant trees and shrubs for effective wind barriers, erosion control, reforestation, and other conservation practices. We encourage people to reach out for assistance before planting. We sell seedling trees and shrubs at nominal costs as these trees and shrubs are in an effort to promote conservation practices. We take orders from November through mid-April each year.

We are now accepting tree orders for the 2024-2025 season!  You can download and print a copy to send in with your payment or,

Our “Tree Buyer’s Guide” provides details about the trees and shrubs.  This is a great reference for finding which trees or shrubs best suit you and your land.

Shoshoni Wind Break Project

The LWRCD approached the Shoshoni School District August 2020 about a “demonstration” tree planting. The idea was to demonstrate conservation tree planting, weed fabric installation, and drip irrigation. The school district has ample property to the North and West of the schools. This area can be utilized for tree plantings which can reduce erosion and assist with energy conservation from the   prevailing winds from that direction.

A small planting was initially planned and students and faculty were to be involved in the planting of the trees and shrubs. A hands on exercise was planned but had to be scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The planting did happen with the help of school grounds employees and volunteers.

The hope is to continue this effort in the future and gradually plant more trees and shrubs in coming years and get the kids involved in the planting and care.

In 2020 the project consisted of 3 rows 500 ft long just North of the football field. There is one row of lilac, one of Rocky Mountain Juniper, and one of caragana seedlings.

In 2021 the LWRCD donated Caragana, Common Lilac, and Rocky Mountain Junipers in order to continue and expand their windbreak.

As the designation of “demonstration” might suggest, this project is a learning experience for all involved. Hopefully all will learn species establish with ease or not. Time will tell.
