Conservation Tree Program
The Waseca Soil and Water Conservation District tree program was developed to provide landowners with an affordable way to purchase trees and shrubs for conservation practices, such as windbreaks, shelter belts, living snow fences, and wildlife habitat. Many of the county's shelter belts, farmstead and field windbreaks, wildlife habitat, and reforestation have been started as a result of the SWCD Tree Program.

2022 Tree Orders
As in the last few years, Arbor Day was the pick up day. Since the weather has kept most indoors, many were ready to be working outside and getting their trees and shrubs planted. This year the Waseca SWCD sold 7193 trees and shrubs. This was down a little bit from last year. However, the Wildflower packs have increased to 20 orders this year. We had three new trees this year. They were the Whitespire Birch, the American Linden, and the Autumn Blaze Maple. All three sold out quickly.
A quick note: Get your orders in early--first come first serve.
