The North Dakota Forest Service (NDFS) offers technical and financial assistance to private landowners to restore, protect, and enhance planted or native trees.
Many planted shelterbelts and farmstead windbreaks in North Dakota are deteriorating due to age or disease and are no longer functional.
ND Forest Service can assist landowners in assessing their windbreak condition and providing a written plan for renovating the windbreak to restore functionality.
