Had a successful weekend painting another 20 trees with the help of Boy Scout Troop 65 and our other dedicated volunteers 😊
(our hard working president Laura Daley-Ness did 1/2 of those on her own! 😲)

The bottom 3’ of the tree trunk is painted with a mix of latex paint and mason or playground sand to deter beavers from chewing 🌳

This Sand-Paint Method was developed by the amazing organisation Beaver Institute, Inc.,
working internationally to help people coexist with beavers ♥️🦫

Thanks again 😊👍

And a special thanks to Hobart Lumber Ace Hardware for giving us a discount to tint the paint
(we try hard to match the colour of the tree bark 😊)
