Seedling Tree Program |

UCCD sells seedling trees from October through the end of March each year. The seedling trees are from the Colorado State Forest Service and come as either bareroot plants in bundles of 50 or potted stock in lots of 30. We also sell weed barrier, tree protectors and polymer to aid in seedling survival. Click here for the 2008 tree order form. |

Living Snow Fence Program
|
|||
What is a Living Snow Fence, anyway? |
|||
| Simply a row or several rows
of living trees and/or shrubs planted in critical locations to control
blowing and drifting snow. Living Snow Fences can be used in place
of the traditional wooden snow fences to provide more appealing scenery
and wildlife habitat. They can reduce the cost of snow plowing and
keep roadways open in winter. |
|||
Who pays for it? |
|||
| The Living Snow Fence
Program receives funding from the Wyoming Department of Transportation
and in some cases, corporate sponsors. |
|||
How can I help? |
|||
| If you own property along a state or county road and would like to see a living snow fence put in, contact UCCD. We will seek approval through WYDOT and help you submit a proposal to the State Living Snow Fence Committee. If your proposal is approved, WYDOT will fund the project and UCCD will help with the site preparation and planting. UCCD will take care of the planting for the first three years, after which time it will become the property owners responsibility to maintain. If you decide to participate, you will not only be helping a nearby road to stay open, you will be adding scenery and wildlife to your land- so please consider this worthwhile program! | |||
