Welcome to Conservation Trees for Nebraska! Each year, Nebraska's Natural Resources Districts sell tree and shrub seedlings for windbreaks, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and other conservation purposes.
This site was developed to provide information to landowners and other interested parties about conservation trees. Use the links below or at top to find out more.
To view pictures and descriptions of common trees and shrubs used for conservation purposes, use the links below:
Trees are sensitive to soil conditions -- go to the Soil Info page for more information on Nebraska's soil types and how they can affect different trees.
Each NRD has its own tree planting program. To order seedlings, contact your local NRD. Their forestry staff can help you with a planting plan and offer suggestions on which species would be best suited to your needs.
Visit the Order page if you are unsure of which NRD you live in or you need contact information for your local NRD.
The "Conservation Trees for Nebraska" catalog is available as a download in printable PDF format. Individual species sheets are also available for download. Go to the Downloads page for more information.
