Tree planting near Argaty, Stirlingshire

Stirlingshire
Tree planting near Argaty Red Kites. Tree planting is good for the environment as trees absorb carbon from the atmosphere. Plastic tree protection tubes are now used as little as possible, where there is a threat of deer or rabbit browsing damaging the trees. Forest and Land Scotland now prefer fencing to tree tubes, but where they have to be used, recyclable tree tubes with less plastic are now being used.
