Trees require a lot of work and persistence to establish in southwestern North Dakota, but as you know, if you live on a farmstead with an established shelterbelt it's worth the effort! They are living systems with youth, maturity, and old age. Like any other living thing they need proper care and management in order to function at their best. Trees are an investment in the future!
Once a windbreak or shelterbelt is established there are many benefits including:
Winter protection and snow placement for a farmstead and roads
Winter protection for livestock
Wildlife habitat
More economical heating and cooling of a home
Esthetic value and landscape appeal
Reduction in wind
