Purpose
Each year the Clay Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) offers Trees - Conservation Tree Program thousands of trees to Clay County landowners at inexpensive prices. Over 30 varieties of shrubs, deciduous trees, and evergreens are available to choose from.
Reducing wind erosion, conserving energy, creating wildlife habitat, and beautifying the countryside are all benefits of the district's tree program.
The best time to plan for planting trees is a year ahead of time. Order your trees in early winter for next springs planting. Keep the area "black", or tilled the year prior to planting.
