We knew planting trees was good, but did you know it was this good?
There are increasing numbers of benefits to planting trees on farms. Not only do they provide environmental benefits, like CO₂ absorption and reducing climate change factors, but trees also offer shade for animals, reducing the heat load on livestock, and provide wind protection. Research by Dairy Australia outlines:
“The shade and shelter provided by trees in paddocks and laneways can reduce the radiant heat load by 50% or more.”
“Deciduous trees will allow solar radiation to penetrate through canopies and help laneways dry out quicker in winter.”
Planting trees is noted as the most cost-effective way to increase shade, enhance biodiversity, and improve soil stability.
The best option is to plant mature trees, as they have established root systems and strong, healthy trunks, reducing the damage that livestock might cause.
