Protecting trees from mammal damage

If you are a landowner, manager or agent, don't miss this webinar introducing our new tree protection guidance, case studies and visual guide.

We'll be providing an overview of the guidance and how it can help woodland managers to identify mammal species, their impacts and provide practical ways to protect treescapes.

While mammals are important for healthy woodland ecosystems, some wild, domestic, and feral mammals can harm trees. The new guidance details 23 mammal species in England, covering both their positive and negative effects. It also details various tree protection methods suited to different situations, including:

• managing mammal populations
• physical barriers
• deterrents
• woodland management techniques
