Erosion Control - Windbreaks
A windbreak, or shelter belt, is usually made up of one or more rows
of trees or shrubs planted in such a manner as to provide shelter from
the wind and to protect soil from erosion. They are commonly planted
around the edges of fields, farms or large developments. If designed
properly, windbreaks around a home or building can reduce the cost of
heating and cooling and save energy. Windbreaks are also planted to
help keep snow from drifting onto roadways and even yards. Other benefits
include providing habitat for wildlife and in some regions the trees
are harvested for lumber.
