Plant a Buffer of Trees

Which trees and shrubs should you plant to get a visual buffer, and how should you arrange them? These free landscaping designs from the Arbor Day Foundation provide several ways to create a visual buffer that can also provide wildlife habitat.

Most newly planted trees need some form of protection from plant-eaters like deer. This activity will help you figure out the right protection tool for your site and show you how to install it.

Even with protection, newly planted trees need your tender loving care to help them survive. Use the information in this activity to help give your trees the best chance for long-term success.
