The Rainbow Terra Biodegradable Vole Guard is an environmentally responsible tree guard designed to protect young whips and saplings from vole damage during the critical early stages of growth.

Made from TÜV Austria OK Biodegradable SOIL-certified biopolymer, this 20cm guard offers peace of mind for contractors, landowners, and rewilding professionals by naturally degrading in the soil without leaving behind microplastics or requiring costly post-planting removal.

Its compact, twin-wall vented construction promotes healthy airflow to reduce dampness and fungal risks, while its size makes it ideal for protecting the vulnerable base of young stems in hedging, biodiversity planting, and woodland creation projects. The Terra Vole Guard is lightweight, quick to handle, and fast to install using a single bamboo cane or stake (not included).

Designed to break down naturally over 3–5 years, this guard supports long-term environmental stewardship and meets key requirements for agri-environment schemes and biodiversity net gain planting.
