Some 3,400 Kansans will plant 670,000 plants for conservation purposes. The low cost plants are available to everyone. The only restriction is that they can't be used for landscaping or resale for landscaping. The purpose of the program is to encourage establishment of home windbreaks, livestock windbreaks, field windbreaks, wildlife habitat, woodlots, riparian plantings and other conservation practices. Forms and assistance in selecting plants and designing plantings are available at your County Conservation District or Extension Office.
Discounts apply on some volume selections.
