Hundreds of bent, twisted and horizontal plastic guards on tree planting in Cumbria - both Highways England eg M6 north of Tebay and from other planting schemes on moors above Tebay towards Appleby..........even if a cane is used - a cane support in even slightly windy conditions often = failure = dead, damaged or dying tree. They also occasionally fly across the Motorway like a driven Pheasant! What a waste of young trees, money and effort - but I am willing to bet each one has been counted in a statistic showing' how great they are at planting XXXXXX trees towards .Gov Targets. Establish a Tree in '23 - please don't just plant a tree in '23 to see it dead in '24/'25
