2016:  Throughout 2016 the Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District planted hundreds of trees throughout multiple projects.  These trees were planted in vulnerable areas on the North and South Shores of Long Island.  Trees planted in these areas will protect the ground from erosion during future storm events, and act as hosts for wildlife. 

Grant Park Tree Transplant:
As a part of ‪#‎Reforest‬ Nassau County, the Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District, and over 50 volunteers planted trees at Grant Park on April 19th, 2015. Thanks to all the volunteers that came out and supported the District.
