🌲 Thank You, Winnebago County Landowners 🌲
This year, 100,250 trees were distributed in Winnebago County through the Wisconsin DNR's annual tree sale program. The Winnebago County LWCD partners with the DNR to support the program by providing supplies and resources that assist landowners in planting and establishing trees.
Thank you to everyone who ordered and planted trees this year. Whether you planted a few hundred seedlings or several thousand, every tree planted today is an investment in cleaner air, healthier soil, cleaner water, and a stronger environment for future generations.
🦸♂️ Trees are nature's superheroes. Through photosynthesis, trees use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into the energy they need to grow. As a bonus, they release oxygen back into the atmosphere—the very air we breathe.
🌱 A mature tree can absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.
💧 Trees are natural water managers, reducing runoff, preventing erosion, filtering pollutants, and helping keep our lakes and rivers cleaner.
🌳 Trees can absorb 10–150 gallons of water per day and release most of it back into the air, helping store, filter & release stormwater.
