Windbreaks in Wyoming
In a news release published February 12, 2009 from the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service titled "Windbreaks Important for Livestock Protection" they briefly talk about the benefits to livestock when implementing windbreaks consisting of trees. "Windbreaks consisting of trees and shrubs reduce wind speed. The protected area is generally 10 to 12 times the height of the windbreak on the leeward side. Windbreaks also provide other benefits like snow control, wildlife habitat, screen unsightly areas, dust or odor control, soil erosion control or energy conservation."
