Hancock County
SWCD SPRING NATIVE TREE/SHRUB SALES!

TREES

Trees are a valuable part of the landscape whether you live in town or in the country.  Just three well-placed trees around a home can reduce air conditioning costs by 15 to 35 percent.  A windbreak can lower heating costs by 10 to 20 percent.  On a warm summer day, the air in a treeless city area can be 6-8 degrees hotter than surrounding areas with trees.  Trees intercept solar radiation and transpire water providing the cooling effect.  Properly placed trees can create a 9-degree reduction in temperature.  Trees are often referred to as nature’s air conditioners and they truly perform that role. If you are interested in adding trees to your property, many of the central Indiana Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) can help you.  The SWCD’s are sponsoring container grown tree and shrub sales just in time to meet your fall planting needs.  Container grown trees are easy to plant, have high survival rates and give quick results.  They have a well-developed root system that virtually begins growing immediately after planting.  The trees are 3 to 6 feet tall and come in one, three, five and fifteen gallon containers. Thank you for your order! Your purchase shows your support for local conservation. The Hancock County Soil and Water Conservation District uses funds generated through our tree and Shrub Sale to provide quality cost share and natural resource educational programs to the community.
