Conservation districts are the largest consumers of National Agroforestry Center (NAC) materials and also a great help in getting agroforestry practices on the ground. For example, conservation district staff explain the value windbreaks can have in protecting livestock and wind-sensitive crops.

This video, produced by the University of Wyoming Extension office, promotes conservation district seedling sales as a way to obtain trees for a planned windbreak.

There are five commonly used agroforestry practices: alley cropping, forest farming, riparian forest buffers, silvopasture and windbreaks. Each one can help farmers and landowners manage and/or add value to their property.
