Windbreak – planting trees

This method can be highly efficient, with a moderate ease of establishment, a moderate cost with low maintenance and long longevity with significant co-benefits including nesting and browsing areas, brows for animals and copping of trees.

Can be combined with grass cover and other measures.

May will require watering, protection from animals and wildfire, which can increase costs.

Need to use locally appropriate trees.

Can have positive impact on local climate.
