District Services and Equipment

Tree Planting

  • $0.30 per foot for trees and DCSCD planting them, producer is responsible for the tractor to pull the planter

  • $0.50 per foot for weed barrier fabric, installed and billed by Stark County

If you’re thinking about planting trees, we’d love for you to come by and work with us on a plan! It’s very important to pick the right spots for planting. Just remember, all District-planted tree plans must follow NRCS’s Standards and Specifications, and be cleared of any Cultural Resources. Additionally, the planting site needs to be broken a year ahead of time.
