About Us

The District is an important asset to the County because it provides many valuable services:

 

Trees:  The most visible function of the District is to protect our County's landscape.  Trees protect roads, cropland, farmsteads, water bodies, and urban areas.  The District offers tree planting services at a low cost.  They help find cost-share dollars so anyone who wants trees can get them, regardless of their financial situation.

Education:  Every year the 7th Grades from the Oakes and Ellendale Public Schools attend an Eco Education Tour.  The students learn intensively about soils, water quality, wildlife, plants, and other natural resource science.  The District also sponsors Stewardship Week for Dickey County churches, Keep ND Clean Poster Contest, and Project Trees for elementary students in Oakes, Ellendale and Maple River Schools.

Soil Conservation, Water Quality, Wildlife Habitat Improvement Practices:  The District is actively involved in the design and application of conservation practices that improve cropland, grazing land, forestland, and wildlife in Dickey County.
