About this file

The document is an instructional guide for shade tube installation, associated with the Southwest Land Office (SWLO) Tree Planting project in Montana, specifically for tree planting activities in Missoula, Ravalli, and Granite Counties. The image provides a three-step visual guide for installing a protective tube around a small tree or seedling, which involves inserting tabs into slots, weaving bamboo through cut-out holes, and securely placing the tube over the tree with stakes.

The installation method appears designed to protect young trees from wildlife damage and environmental stressors, using a light blue protective tube and bamboo stakes. The tube has strategically placed slots and holes to allow for secure mounting and potential flexibility in different terrain conditions. While the document does not provide specific pricing or funding details, it is part of a broader tree planting initiative led by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) in the southwestern region of the state.
