Selfpackaging Cardboard Christmas Tree - M

Product Information

I made three separate trees out of the supplies listed, so I’m going to walk you through them one at a time.

For the second cardboard tree, I followed the same process, just with slightly different supplies. I used corrugated scrapbook paper and cut it to the size I wanted. Start by gluing the buttons together in the shape of a tree. Once the glue is dry, decorate your tree however you like! You could use paint, glitter, sequins, or anything else you can think of. In this and every issue you can expect to see Briefing, keeping you up to date with the latest training courses, events and publications, and On the ground which provides helpful tips or updates on products relevant to land management. Other features that regularly appear in CLM include Viewpoint, a similar length to our main articles, but here authors can voice their own views on various conservation issues, and Review, which can include letters from readers or updates from our authors. Use the utility knife with a fresh, sharp blade to cut out the cardboard tree shapes. (Adults only, of course.)

It has been predicted that between 1980 and 2020 over 200 million plastic tree guards were used, and with the UK government’s ambitious target to increase woodland cover by 19% by 2050, the rate of tree planting is sure to increase, as will the number of tree guards used. It is recommended that plastic tree guards are removed 2–3 years after their installation, but they are often left behind to degrade in the landscape, which can be both damaging to the wider environment (although the impacts of this are not yet fully understood) and to the tree itself. It is possible to recycle plastic polymer guards, but not if they have already started to break down or are contaminated. Cardboard tree guards offer a viable alternative to plastic. Lyndsay Wayman-Rook and Hannah Simmons In the forthcoming Winter 2021 issue of Conservation Land Management ( CLM) magazine Jenny Price and Lyndsay Wayman-Rook describe how the Old Chalk New Downs project in Kent has been trialling biodegradable cardboard tree guards as an alternative to plastic. Here you can read a summary of the article.
