Ground cover created by tree planting and associated
debris protects soil from rill and sheet erosion. It also protects water quality
by filtering excess nutrients and chemicals from surface runoff and increasing
infiltration rates. Healthy well managed woodlands provide long term wildlife
habitat as well. Each year the district offers a tree seedling sale in which a
variety of tree seedlings are offered at a reduced price. If you would like more
