How hard would it be to convert a caravan into a stealth chipper/chip box?

I've got a 30' gap in my garden that I need to fill with a tall hedge or some fast(ish) growing trees. The hedge is 250m above sea level in a very exposed area. I have a staghorn tree in the garden but this regularly loses branches to the wind. I'd like to use native plants to keep the garden in keeping with the surrounding fields. Trees that are found in the area include ash, sycamore, hawthorn, rowan, damson, elder and yew. What would you suggest that I plant?
