Living windbreaks shape Kansas landscapes and futures
Kansas has long used trees and shrubs to protect soil, reduce heating costs, and shelter livestock. After Dust Bowl hardship, home and field windbreaks became essential, boosting wildlife and shielding roads and banks. By 2003, Kansas State University and the Kansas Forest Service promote Conservation Tree Planting with spring orders due May 9. Finney County Extension Office (272 3670) offers guidance and order forms for living windbreaks.
