Grand Forks County Soil Conservation District

Windbreak Design

Take advantage of our free design service for field, farmstead, and rural home windbreaks, and for wildlife plantings within our Soil Conservation District.  Our district technician, Ragnar Bergendahl, is trained to help you consider all the factors necessary to have a success with your tree plantings.  There are many factors to consider when planting trees.  He will assist with:

• Selection of tree/shrub varieties recommended for your soil type,
• Choosing plant varieties suitable for our climate,
• Location of plantings to avoid setback restrictions for county and townships,
• What to plant in wet or dry sites,
• Selection of plants for specific wildlife,
• Giving you information to avoid problems with utilities,
• Designing the planting to avoid dumping snow in the wrong places.

We also offer low cost services for site preparation, planting, and planting maintenance within Grand Forks County.  Follow the tree planting/maintenance link for more information.
