Tree Shelter Belts Boost Soil and Moisture on Plains
A New York Times report outlines a wind erosion control effort on the western plains where fifty foot belts of trees shield soil and conserve moisture. Five years in, seventy percent thrive, with visible benefits already noted as thousands of trees extend across miles. The project, led by the Forest Service with WPA labor, plants belts 110 feet wide at right angles to prevailing winds, aiding farming by stabilizing soil and providing timber and fuel. The belts are not continuous, and a large area has been planted with trees and fencing to create windbreaks.
