Green-tech launches new GT Thorn Guard at Groundswell 2025

Green-tech, the UK’s leading supplier of tree protection and landscaping products, has announced the launch of GT Thorn Guard, a new protective guard designed to prevent damage to trees from grazing livestock.

Offering instant and effective protection for newly planted saplings and established trees, GT Thorn Guard will be officially launched on stand PF E6 at Groundswell 2025, the Regenerative Agriculture Festival in Hertfordshire.

The Groundswell Festival is a popular forum for farmers, landowners, and environmental professionals to explore regenerative farming practices, making it the ideal setting to launch the GT Thorn Guard.

Livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and deer, can cause significant damage to trees in a short period. GT Thorn Guard has been developed specifically to deter even the largest livestock and ensure trees are protected to enable them to establish and thrive.

GT Thorn Guard is manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, making it strong and built to withstand the rigours of agricultural environments. Supplied as flat grids for ease of transportation and storage, the guard is easily assembled on-site. Once rolled into shape, it forms a secure cylindrical barrier with outward-facing spikes positioned at regular intervals to deter livestock. This instant and effective solution provides reliable protection against cattle, sheep, deer, and other grazing animals, helping to ensure the successful establishment of trees.

Installation is straightforward and the guards can be assembled and installed around new or existing trees in just a few steps, offering a no-fuss solution for farmers and land managers looking to protect their planting projects.

Richard Gill, Green-tech’s Sales Director, comments, “The GT Thorn Guard is a practical solution to a widespread challenge. As we support more tree planting across the UK, especially on farms and estates, protecting that investment from livestock is critical. This new guard is simple to use, highly effective and built to last.”
