The local program offering native trees each fall does far more than merely replace those lost to disease, insect infestation and development or provide stock for new plantings.
The program generates funds to help cover costs for important programs.
The Hendricks County Soil & Water Conservation District’s fall tree sale boosts a No-Till Field Day and the Cover Crop Field Day.
When a SWCD field day informs crop producer decisions, the measure adds to efforts that stabilize soil and hold unused nutrients.
Every tree sold makes more out-reach possible. Call the SWCD office now and ask to be added to the advance reservation list, (317) 745-2555, ext. 3. Species lists and pricing will be announced later in the summer; orders can be placed then.
