Protecting your forest plants – why plant treatment is a must

Planting new forests is an investment in the future. But young seedlings are vulnerable, especially to wildlife damage from moose, deer and elk. That’s why plant treatment a crucial part of regeneration.

Plant treatment involves protecting plants by either chemical or mechanical means to prevent them from being grazed, defoliated or damaged. A well-implemented treatment increases survival and reduces the risk of growth losses.

Common threats to young plants:

  • Grazing of top shoots (especially spruce and pine)
  • Bark gnawing by hares or deer
  • Trampling and sweeping damage from moose

At Grimslövs Skogstjänst, we use proven methods and approved means to protect your plants – regardless of plant type and location. We help you choose the right protection for your particular land.
