Abstract
Vexar seedling protectors were tested for preventing nutria damage to baldcypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich) seedlings planted in Louisiana
swamp forests. Five areas were planted with 1-year-old baldcypress seedlings. Half the seedlings in each area were protected with Vexar seedling protectors. The protectors slowed down the rate of destruction in some areas, but after 3 months, 85% of the guarded seedlings and 87% of the unguarded seedlings were destroyed.
