Trees

Trees do make a difference. They are a part of our future. They provide wildlife habitat, reduce soil erosion, enhance water quality, save energy costs, help clear the air and add beauty to our homes and farmsteads.

The Middle Republican Natural Resources District encourages land and homeowners to plant trees and shrubs. The tree program is one of the most visible and popular of the NRD's programs. Since the program began in 1973 more than 1.6 million trees have been planted in the district. Those trees have helped replace trees lost to farming and urban development and helped protect our precious topsoil from wind and water erosion. The district makes the entire process affordable and easy. Read on and then give us a call.
