This technical guide reviews the current knowledge on damage to trees caused by wild animals (rabbits, hares, roe deer and red deer) and provides a detailed description of one of the main methods currently in use to protect individual trees directly from animal damage: mesh tree guards. By doing so, this guide aims to help foresters to identify the animal responsible for the damage and therefore to choose the best type of protection.
