rabbits eating the bark of trees.Maybe it is an idea to wrap something around the bottom part of the tree.Of course I realize that people who have 4 ha or 10 ha have a lot of fencing to do.but then you knew that when you bought it.My suggestion is protect your trees and fence in whatever you can afford.Another thing are you sure these people put the rabbits on your land? because I know that there are fenced in areas where the hunters put out rabbits to train their young huntingdogs,if you happen to live in an area like that you would have a lot more rabbits than normal. check with your local huntingclub.

Why would anyone in their right mind spend tens of thousands of Euros fencing in their land and wrapping a protective something or other around a thousand trees to keep rabbits out when  a couple of hunting dogs will take care of most of them?  And you get free, highly sustainable, nutritious protein too.  Win/win.
