UTRCA encouraging land owners to consider planting trees for windbreaks
After a rough winter, the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority wants more land owners to consider planting trees to use a windbreaks.
In addition to reducing blowing snow and drifting snow along highways, windbreak areas can also increase crop yields by 10-to-30 per cent.
Officials with the conservation authority say this spring, they'll be planting a natural snow fence at the newly renovated MTO inspection station just west of the Highway 401 Putnam exit -- an area notorious for snow drifts.
