🌳 Garfield County residents......it’s time to plan for trees! 🌲

Tree order forms are available through the Garfield County Conservation District! Ordering early gives you a better chance of getting the varieties and taller trees you’re hoping for. Whether you’re adding a windbreak, creating shade, or planting for future generations, now is a great time to start planning! 🌱

Trees do so much more than make our landscapes beautiful. They help reduce wind and soil erosion, provide shelter for livestock, and offer food and habitat for wildlife. Choosing trees suited to our local climate and soil, and giving young trees consistent watering and protection....helps them get a strong start.

📍 Pick up an order form at 307 Main Street, Jordan, MT 59337
💻 Find forms online at https://www.garfieldcountyconservationdistrict.org/gccd-trees
☎️ Questions? Contact Macy Bliss at 406-557-2740, ext. 100

Let’s grow something wonderful together! 💚

🌳 “Plant a little hope today, and watch it grow into tomorrow’s shade.”
