The 20cm Rainbow Terra Biodegradable Vole Guard is the UK’s first and only TÜV soil-certified biodegradable tree and vine shelter, designed as a sustainable, plastic-free solution for protecting young whips and seedlings from mice and vole damage. Manufactured using plant resin and recycled UK natural wood residue, this innovative guard offers reliable early-stage protection while supporting natural, stable growth thanks to its class-leading light transmission. With an average service life of 5 years, the Terra Vole Guard gradually biodegrades in soil, freshwater, and marine environments, leaving no microplastics or harmful residues—making it ideal for farmland planting, woodland creation, conservation habitats and riparian restoration projects. Safe, non-toxic and fully natural, it provides farmers, landowners, councils and tree-planting contractors with a proven eco-friendly alternative to plastic vole guards, perfectly aligned with modern sustainability standards and grant-funded planting schemes.
