Action C3. Exclusion of herbivores
Description
Solving the effect of browsing performed by domestic animals, seedlings and yew juveniles. Despite being a toxic plant, ruminants resist the toxic substance (taxina) to the point of having a big appetite for the green leaves of the yews.
Actions
Construction of mobile fences of different sizes to protect seedlings and juveniles individually or in stands. Reach agreements with owners and herders to circulate cattle out of yew forests. Mobile fences will be moved to other plots as yews grow over the scope of the goats.
