Using a Cattle Panel to Protect your Trees

This video demonstrates the technique I use to create a cage around our trees to protect them from deer rubbing in the fall, but this can also be used for cattle with a little more fortification.

Tools Needed:
- a post ponder
- lineman’s plyers (or similar tool to cut wire)
- some metal wire or zip ties.

2 - 5.5’ T-posts
1 - 16’ cattle panel

A little bit on where I come from:

I am a graduate from SUNY – College of Environmental Science with a B.S. in Wildlife Science

I graduated from SUNY – ESF Ranger School extension with an A.A.S in Environmental and Natural Resource Conservation

Spent 4 years working various public sector seasonal technician jobs around states like Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, South Carolina, and New York until I decided to turn to Private Sector work.

I mostly tackle Timber Stand Improvement projects, with a focus on wildlife habitat features and sustainable growth through thinning treatments and soil-building techniques. I strive to utilize regenerative forestry as my core focus when providing any services.

My hope is that with this channel I can introduce land owners to some basic management practices and techniques that can help them work on their own properties, or know what to look for when hiring a private forester to come work on their land if they want to follow the methods I use for my own work.
