Tree Program

How it works

Goodhue Soil and Water Conservation District says it makes trees available once a year to landowners. The stock is sold in bundles of 25 per species, and the program is ordered online through the SWCD online store.

What the money covers

The program offers roughly 25 species of trees, including conifers, deciduous trees, and shrubs. The SWCD says the program was started to promote conservation and help residents create a more beautiful, healthy, and ecologically balanced environment. It says the trees have been used for farmstead and field windbreaks, wildlife habitat plantings, and reforestation efforts, and that more recently housing developments and community beautification projects have also been added.

For homeowners, the page specifically says the trees can be used to plant a privacy hedge line or a windbreak or shelterbelt.

Amounts and timing

The page does not give a rebate, grant, or per-home subsidy amount. It does say quantities are limited and encourages buyers to act soon. The post is dated November 3, 2025 and references Spring 2026 availability, so it appears to be a current seasonal offering.

How to apply

The page directs users to the SWCD online store for ordering. It does not list any additional paperwork, inspection, or matching requirement.
