20th Annual Conservation District Plant Sale |
|
 Welcome to the 20th Annual Windham County Conservation District's Annual Plant Sale.
-
Orders will be taken until April 12th.
-
-
Order early as supplies of some plants are limited. Pick-up of stock will be from 9 - 12 on April 24th in the Natural Resources Department at the Trade and Industrial Center (TIC). The District will not be responsible for stock once it is removed from the pick-up site and reserves the right to refund money for stock that becomes unavailable. No refunds will be made on any orders not picked up by the designated date.
We hope you'll enjoy the selection of planting stock which we are offering this year.
Our current offerings seek to highlight plants for their landscape value, conservation value, and food value, both for ourselves and our feathered friends. We have also tried to focus on providing mostly native plants for our shrub varieties in an effort to combat the spread of invasives. The description we are using to identify native plants is they are plants growing in North America prior to European settlement or present in our region for at least 100 years and for which there is no evidence of exotic origin.

Portable Skidder Bridge Rental Program |
|
The Windham County Natural Resources Conservation District in cooperation with the Watershed Forestry Program of the Agency of Natural Resources have constructed two portable skidder bridges to rent to loggers and consulting foresters in Windham County. If you are interested in further information regarding the Rental Program please contact Jolene Hamilton at (802) 254-5323, Ext. 104
Portable skidder bridges are designed and intended for use as temporary structures for crossing streams during logging. They are also economical since they are reusable, and easy to install and transport from job to job. They are a reliable solution to help reduce logging costs associated with temporary stream crossings. Portable skidder bridges ensure that equipment and logs crossing over water bodies are not causing stream bed or streambank disturbance and thus minimizing the potential for soil erosion. Portable skidder bridges allow loggers to harvest timber in compliance with Vermont’s AMP’s.
