Shoshoni Wind Break Project
The LWRCD approached the Shoshoni School District August 2020 about a “demonstration” tree planting. The idea was to demonstrate conservation tree planting, weed fabric installation, and drip irrigation. The school district has ample property to the North and West of the schools. This area can be utilized for tree plantings which can reduce erosion and assist with energy conservation from the prevailing winds from that direction.
A small planting was initially planned and students and faculty were to be involved in the planting of the trees and shrubs. A hands on exercise was planned but cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The planting couldn’t have happened without the help of school grounds employees and volunteers.
The hope is to continue this effort in the future and gradually plant more trees and shrubs in coming years and get the kids involved in the planting and care.
In 2020 the project consisted of 3 rows 500 ft long just North of the football field. There is one row of lilac, one of Rocky Mountain Juniper, and one of caragana seedlings. In 2021 the LWRCD donated Caragana, Common Lilac, and Rocky Mountain Junipers in order to continue and expand their windbreak. As the designation of “demonstration” might suggest, this project is a learning experience for all involved.
