Windbreaks
A well-designed windbreak around you home or farm slows the wind and improves the overall environment. Windbreaks offer the following benefits:
- conserve energy,
- provide snow control,
- improve working and recreational environments,
- enhance wildlife populations,
- provide visual screening, dust control and noise reduction, and
- increase the production of various wood and food products.
