The Town of Davidson is considering replacing ineffective snow fencing such as this one behind Northside Manor with a tree row.

The Town of Davidson is considering a living windbreak instead of fences to contain the force of the prairie wind.

The town is consulting with Davidson’s Communities in Bloom committee for advice on planting trees to replace snow fencing behind Northside Manor and along the east side of Sellers Crescent.

They are looking at a proposal to plant two lines of shelterbelt trees adjacent to one another

“If anyone has seen the condition of the snow fence, this is a great idea,” said Mayor Tyler Alexander.

Council suggested inviting Community in Bloom members and the landowner to council’s Feb. 26 meeting to discuss the matter further.
