Wide metal bands wrapped around tree trunks, known as tree collars or baffles, are designed to stop climbing animals such as squirrels, raccoons, and rats from reaching the branches. Their smooth surface makes it difficult for animals to gain traction, helping protect fruit, nuts, bark, and nearby homes from unwanted pests. These simple barriers are chemical-free, harmless to animals, and offer a practical way to protect trees and property while living peacefully alongside wildlife.
