The Shelterbelt Programming at the SRRWD is designed to help landowners establish Shelterbelts on or adjacent to their agricultural land. These efforts are in partnership with ALUS Canada and the 2Billion Trees initiative. SRRWD staff will offer technical advice and help when planning shelterbelt design.
Shelterbelts offer great soil protection from wind erosion by reducing wind speeds while also trapping moisture during winter. They provides wildlife habitat to a wide range of birds, pollinators and other animals. In addition, tree planting efforts continue to contribute to carbon sequestration goals.
