fencerows

Fencerows are the strips of land alongside fences, typically left uncultivated and allowed to grow wild with grasses, shrubs, and small trees.
In agricultural landscapes, fencerows serve as windbreaks, prevent erosion, and provide habitat for wildlife: Quail nested in the old fencerow, The farm's fencerows were thick with blackberry brambles.
The word evokes rural American landscapes where property lines are marked by both the fence and the vegetation that accumulates around it.
