Return to Freedom: Inside a Wild Horse Sanctuary

Return to Freedom: Inside a Wild Horse Sanctuary | 100 Acre Wood | Scoop.it
TreeHugger visited a wild horse sanctuary in California. Check out the mustangs we met, and the mission behind this nonprofit.

 

In the rolling golden hills of the central coast of California is a 300-acre ranch with a unique purpose. Return to Freedom is a wild horse sanctuary, and home to over 300 rescued mustangs. I was lucky enough to stay here for several days, learning what it takes to care for such important charges and the sanctuary's larger purpose.

The report ... pulls together studies from UK and other temperate agriculture systems to show how trees planted as shelter belts help to reduce wind speeds, meaning water loss through evapotranspiration1 is slowed. This allows the sheltered crop to retain more water and use it efficiently. ... In the UK such shelter belts are relatively uncommon, but studies have shown cereal yields of sheltered crops can be higher than that for unsheltered crops, particularly in years when the weather is hot and dry.
