The Woodland Trust has pledged to end the use of new plastic tree guards at its sites by the end of the year, to make tree planting more sustainable.
The conservation charity, a major UK tree planter with hopes to plant 10 million saplings each year to 2025, wants to drive “permanent change” in the tree planting sector with its switch away from plastic protectors.
The move by the trust, which currently collects the plastic tubes from its sites and recycles them, comes after trials of green alternatives for protecting young saplings from grazing by deer or rabbits in the early stages of growth.
