The town should consider planting trees as windbreaks along the pastures on Winter Knoll and Freeze Road. The roads are a terrible hazard in winter, and intense warm-weather squalls are eroding the land. Every winter, the wind blows snow drifts off the fields and onto the roads, making the roads slippery and hazardous. There is a serious accident on one of the roads at least once a month.

in conclusion, planting trees as windbreaks along Winter Knoll and Freeze Road would help prevent accidents caused by snow drifts on the roads during winter, as well as mitigate soil erosion during intense warm-weather squalls.
