Seedling Tree Orders Available
The Laramie County Conservation District
is looking forward to its twentieth year of providing
Laramie County residents who own at least two acres with
seedling trees and shrubs at low cost. These trees
and shrubs provide residents with an economical way to
establish conservation tree plantings such as
shelterbelts, windbreaks, living snow fences, or
enhancement of wildlife habitats. Bare root trees
and shrubs are available in bundles of 50 for a cost of
$44.00. The Colorado Nursery stock of potted trees
are available at a cost of $54.00 for a box of 30, and the
Montana stock is available for $50.00 for a box of 25
trees. Most species offered are well adapted to
Laramie County, and district staff will be glad to advise
you on which species have been most successful. In
addition to the seedling tree sales, the district will
again provide fabric mulch application and tree planting
services this year. These services are offered on a
first come- first serve basis. In order to be placed
on the list for these services you must submit a paid tree
order. Be sure to include the number of trees to be
planted as well as the approximate number of feet of
fabric mulch that you wish the district to install on the
order form.
Fabric mulch is available in rolls six feet wide by 300
feet long for those installing their own fabric.
Look under the order summary section of the order form to
place your order. Fabric can be picked up at the
district office next spring prior to tree distribution.
Interested landowners are encouraged to place their orders
early as the district has experienced increasing demands
for stock available. Payment including tax is
required at the time of ordering. Customers who have
previously ordered trees, and may need replants are
encouraged to review their needs now and place an order,
as certain species sell out rapidly. The district
does not order extras and sells only what is left over in
the late spring from our plantings. For more
information or to receive a tree order form, contact the
district at 772-2600 or visit the office at 11221 U.S.
Highway 30, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
