We, at The Bamboo Store, always get excited when we see bamboo being used in new and innovative ways. On a recent road trip to Dehradun, we saw something that really made us happy and our hearts sing. Bamboo has been extensively used as tree guards here all along the road as you approach the hilly stretch near Mohund. The bamboo has been painted a nice shade of green and all the greenery around this green bamboo was a beautiful sight. We were pleased because bamboo is such a sensible option for tree guards -
- it is locally available in most places,
- easily renewable,
- easy to work with and
- not resource intensive to produce such as metal tree guards.
Also, once the tree becomes big and the tree guard is no longer required, the bamboo can be re-used. Depending on the time-frame, if the bamboo has got spoilt, since it is bio-degradable, it can be returned to earth.
Enjoy these pictures of the eco-friendly tree guards !!
