Benefits
Establishing shelterbelts around hog barns has become an increasingly popular means of mitigating odours and neighbourhood odour issues in eastern Canada. Furthermore, shelterbelts can help reduce heating and snow removal costs in addition to providing added income for farmers through the sale of timber or fruit. Shelterbelts that are well designed will also embellish the surroundings while enhancing biodiversity and playing a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
