Plantation protection
High deer populations have made establishing plantations difficult in the recent past. The most effective methods of preventing deer from browsing on your seedlings have been to either "bud cap" the trees (see picture below) or apply a deer repellent. We can help by seeing to it that your trees receive the protection they need.
