The Rainbow Terra Biodegradable Tree Shelter is an innovative, fully biodegradable protection solution designed to support sustainable forestry, landscaping, and estate planting projects. Made from biopolymer blends derived from renewable resources, these shelters are TÜV Austria soil-certified to break down harmlessly over 5 to 7 years—eliminating the need for costly and labor-intensive collection after installation.
Featuring a sturdy twin-wall construction with ventilation holes, the Terra shelter provides effective protection against browsing animals such as rabbits and hares, as well as herbicide spray drift. Its ventilated design ensures optimal airflow, promoting healthy sapling growth during the critical establishment phase. The integrated tie and flared top enable quick installation while minimising abrasion to young trees.
Available in four versatile sizes, the Terra shelter accommodates a wide range of planting applications—from low hedgerows and field edges to high-risk forestry sites exposed to deer and livestock. This makes it ideal for forestry contracts, farm planting, estate regeneration, government biodiversity schemes, and carbon offset projects.
