The Double El Conservation District offers
seedling trees, at production costs, to landowners through the Trees for
Conservation Program sponsored by the Colorado State Forest Service. The
Colorado State Forest Service tree program enables farmers, ranchers, and rural
landowners to obtain trees at a nominal cost. The program's aim is to encourage
landowners to plant new forest, establish effective windbreaks to reduce
erosion, protect homes, cropland, livestock and highways, and enhance wildlife
habitat. Our trees and shrubs are grown for their conservation benefits
only Ornamental qualities such as color, degree of flowering, fruit production
and others are not guaranteed. Delivery of trees will be in
mid-April on a week day. There are different delivery days for each tree
form so note the dates due and pick up. The seedlings have been grown
locally and the species have been specially selected to give a higher survival
rate. All CSFS programs and services are offered on a nondiscriminatory
basis, without regard to race color, national origin, religion, sex, martial
status, or handicap.
If you have any questions on the tree
seedling program email Cheryl at: cherylchurchscd@att.net
