[Talk-ca] Woodland or Forest

[Hoser AB]

Hello Arthur,

Out here in the prairie hinterlands we call such a thing a "windrow",
"windbreak" or "shelterbelt". It's a row of trees planted for the purpose
of slowing the wind speed on the leeward side, helping to prevent soil
erosion and damage to crops, or just to make it a little less gusty and
more pleasant around a farmhouse. :)

Per Martin's suggestion I would simply tag it as natural=tree_row. That
said, I would not tag it with denotation=border_farm, because its purpose
is not to denote the border of the farm. That it is *at* the edge of the
farm is incidental.

Cheers
