Shelterbelt Plants
On the prairies shelterbelts are beneficial and attractive. Tall, sturdy trees block strong winds, while creating a border around your property and house. Shrubs trap snow, adding moisture to the soil, and their colour and shape adds texture to your garden. Your shelterbelt will also provide a home to many species of animals and birds.
