[CANUFNET] String trimmer damage

[Dwayne Gilbert]

Good morning, I have a question for all but perhaps more so for municipal arborists/contract administrators who manage newly planted trees in city parks.


*        Have you had issues with other city staff causing damage to young trees with string trimmers while performing maintenance?



*        If so, did you come up with a solution or various solutions to remedy that problem with good success?



Thank you for your time!
