Bark-binding is when we put a special wrap around a tree's trunk to protect it from insects and diseases. It's like a superhero's cape that keeps them safe from villains!
Just like we need clothes to protect us from the cold or the sun, trees need something to keep them safe too. Especially when they lose their bark, which is like their skin and helps protect them. This can happen when people do things like mow too close to the tree, animals try to scratch them, or they get damaged in any other way.
So to help the tree heal and protect itself, we put a special wrap around the trunk of the tree. It's made of a material that doesn't hurt the tree and helps to keep it safe. This way, the tree can grow strong and healthy again without any further damage. It's like a boo-boo bandaid for trees!
