Shelterbelt Program

SHELTERBELT PROGRAM

Shelterbelt trees reduce wind erosion, water erosion, help to conserve energy in houses as well as provide food shelter for the birds. To promote the establishment of shelterbelts and facilitate the MD of Peace ratepayers, the Agricultural Service Board will bulk order trees on a cost recovery basis. The order form is available in our office and here: Shelterbelt Seedling Order Form. Trees can be ordered only in bundles of 10 or 15. Trees will be delivered to MD residents on arrival at end of May or early June.

Details of tree species and cost are available are below.  Species marked with * have limited quantities, therefore, when the limited quantities are spoken for, a waiting list will be created but there will be no guarantees.

Seedlings will be available by the end of May/ early June. Please note that MD of Peace may/can substitute species due to potential issues with availability and no refund will be issued. The minimum order is one (1) bundle (10 or 15 seedlings), and orders are per bundle i.e. 4 bundles of White Spruce and 3 Siberian Larch (for a total of 60 White Spruce and 30 Siberian Larch).
