Each year in the Spring, your local Conservation District holds a Tree, Shrub and Plant Sale. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to obtain native non-invasive plants at very reasonable prices.

The trees you plant can

• Clean the Air
• Conserve Energy
• Decrease Noise
• Improve Water Quality
• Reduce Erosion and Flooding
• Provide Homes for Wildlife
• Beautify your Community

Trees conserve energy.  Three properly planted trees around your home can cut air conditioning bills by 10-50%.  These trees cool your home by providing shade in the summer. 

Properly designed plantings of trees and shrubs can decrease noise by 50% or more.  Windbreaks reduce wind speed, lowering you home heating bills by as much as 30% and lessens soil loss. 

Residential trees can increase real estate values by 10-15%.  Community trees can also reduce stress, add to an area's economic vitality, and create community pride.

The Earth Day Sale is a terrific chance to beautify your landscape while supporting local conservations programs an projects.  It is also a great event for volunteers to get involved. Stay tuned for dates and details.
