The purpose of the WCD’s annual plant sale is to promote the stewardship and conservation of our natural resources.  Planting native trees and shrubs can provide many positive benefits to your property and the natural environment such as improved water quality, enhanced fish and wildlife habitat, reduction of wind and soil erosion, cleaner air, reduction of energy costs, and beautification of your property!  Additionally, proceeds from the plant sale support the WCD’s conservation education programs.
