Project
Conservation Trees
Farmers, ranchers, and acreage owners plant trees to conserve soil, energy, water, wildlife, and the atmosphere.
The Conservation Trees program encouraged farmers and ranchers to plant and maintain trees, which are an integral part of production agriculture as they improve crop yields and preserve topsoil for future abundant harvests. Planted along streams and wetlands, they prevent erosion and clean the water. Planting Conservation Trees in marginal areas of agricultural land attracts wildlife, sequesters carbon, and helps with flood control.
