On this episode of the Orchard Outlook podcast we\\u2019re taking shelter from the wind. I\\u2019ve witnessed some impressive windstorms since I moved to Nova Scotia. Whether it\\u2019s a nor\\u2019easter, post-tropical storm, or just your typical gusts and gales. Our guest Jenny Liu explains the value of windbreaks, species composition, design tips, and maintenance. She\\u2019s going to blow you away with helpful information.

\\n

Jenny Liu is the Maple, Tree Nut, and Agroforestry Specialist at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. She completed her forestry undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia and then set her sights on agriculture, earning a Master\\u2019s in agricultural entomology at the University of Guelph.
