Financial assistance is available for landowners who wish to reforest their land. The Minnesota DNR's Field to Forest Program provides up to 75% reimbursement for tree planting expenses. Plus, a $500/acre incentive! The program requires planting a minimum of 3+ acres and is not intended for residential landscaping or planting in established forests. Contact your local DNR Forester by December 1, 2025, to apply. For more information about this program and others, please visit this link.
If that grant program isn't a fit but you'd still like to plant trees, ACD's annual tree is open. Trees are ordered now and picked up in the spring. All are seedlings, available in bundles of 10 for $24-$30 or bundles of 25 for under $46-$58. Prairie seed is also available. Please order early for the best selection; we intend to sell out of everything. Order online at www.AnokaSWCD.org.
