Tree protector

This page will document OSE's attempts to protect trees planted at FeF from threats that may otherwise kill the trees

Wire Mesh

These were constructed by User:Marcin & User:Maltfield by wire mesh, wire, and pvc pipe to protect the baby hazelnut trees planted in the key line fields from being eaten by rabbits.

In May 2018, Michael made & laid 66 of these over the period totaling about 10 hours.

Improvements

This process could be improved if the wire mesh cylinders were pre-made in a more assembly-line manner, rather than being done in the field as needed. Or, better, if the entire protector was actually 3d printed: both the big cylinder that goes around the tree and the small cylinder that's staked into the ground.
