Promote tree planting and arboriculture through education and technical support, creating a more beautiful and healthy Southern Indiana.
Plant A Tree For You And Me is a joint project of the Clark, Crawford, Floyd, Harrison, Jefferson, Ripley, and Scott County Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), and is sponsored by Historic Hoosier Hills Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D). This five-year project has two primary objectives: 1. To educate people about the benefits of trees and their management. 2. To help the citizens of Southern Indiana plant 100,000 trees in our four-county area by 2012. The result?
In Indiana, a Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is a unit of state government responsible for soil and water conservation programs within its county boundaries. The district provides a means for all interested people in a county to work together for natural resource conservation and development. It is funded through a variety of sources, including county and state appropriations, money-making activities, grants, and private donations. Each district is governed by a board of five supervisors whose roles are to evaluate local soil and water conservation needs and opportunities, to set priorities, and to provide for the development of programs to meet those prioritized needs within the district. Historic Hoosier Hills Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) is an organization created by local people to bring people, rural development opportunities, and solutions together. The RC&D helps local people deal with many natural resource, human resource, and quality of life issues. More of a process than a program, RC&D is the only federally assisted volunteer program with an extensive nationwide network that is governed at the grass roots level.
