I am wondering what this poor tree did to deserve being
fenced off from all the other things in the area.
While this particular fence between the trees is just
standing there for no good reason really.
While watching this ghost car speed by, I realized that the fence across the way is
there to keep other cars from falling into the Quaboag River.
And I am off tomorrow to Syracuse, New York. Our son Evan is graduating this weekend from Syracuse
University with his Masters Degree in Information and Library Science. The last two years have sped by much like
that car in the photo above. We are very
proud.
Linking to Friday Fences

i remember doing some kind of that fence to wrap around the trees. the purpose is to give certain vines something to cling to. when the vine is sturdy, the fence would then be clipped away with some sort of cutting tool.
maybe the vine didn't grow.
I've seen trees wrapped like that to protect them from beavers, but I don't know if it would apply in this case. Congratulations to your son!
congratulations to your son! what an accomplishment! that last shot is awesome!!
i may not sleep well tonight wondering about that fenced tree and the why of it all. plus the bridge to no where. hummm lots of thinking to do. congrats to the grad.
wonder if they have goats that strip the bark.
congratulations to you and your son!
Interesting musings and photos...I do like that 'ghost' car! A big congratulations to your son...just in time for Mother's Day! :)
Congratulations to your son! We put fences around our young trees to keep the deer from eating them. I wonder if they forgot to take it off or maybe it's what TexWisGirl says.
They did that to a tree close by because of beavers or some other ground hugging animal that loves to eat away at the bark until the tree can no longer stand. Nice collection of fences.
Wonderful blog with great pictures! I joined your blog and look forward to seeing more :)
Congratulations upon this success. And yes, some things need protection.
Please have a good journey and weekend.

Oh congrats...enjoy the moment..
There are definitely beavers in the area. That must be it.
Looks like that tree had some type of animal damage at the bottom... I image the fencing is to try and save it.
Congratulations to your son. :)
I guess some fences are more useful than others. I know here in the UK they will section off trees in order to protect them ground dwelling critters.
Congrats to your son and the shots are all great!
You must be very proud of your son. Congratulations!
Someone told me once about wrapping trees like that but I just can't remember the story!!!
Adorable little bridge...
Congrats to your son, I hope you had a wonderful weekend!!!
A beaver has already gotten to that tree. They eat the soft underside of the bark.
