Over here in the Buffalo area I don’t have to many issues from voles and woodchucks. The deer are different story. They are both voracious destroyers and unrepentant. They are altering the landscape in ways that discriminate against other species and ultimately will destroy their own habitat. They are my biggest challenge and they have far more time and energy to subvert my feeble contrivances to slow them down. A very worthy opponent. Every once in a while I manage to sneak one past them.

@whitepineswhisper do you later take any action to keep the deer from mowing the new growth back to the cutting?

@climatenews not a fan of these article confusing cause and effect. Meat is not a problem. CAFOs are a huge problem and for more than climate risk.

@inkican the time to be careful is before this is released into the wild. Trees live in complex systems. To introduce something that no one has any idea how it will fit in is very risky. Remove humans and nature would get along without out us. Remove nature and we are toast. Let’s not assume we know better.
