removing bark.

seen what seems to be thje bark removed up to about a foot from ground level and around a third of the diameter on some trees at the side of the m56 in cheshire, anyone know what this is for? looks intentional, tho i have been going past at 80, err 70!

not sure if your winding me up there butI t's in a wood between the slip road and main carriageway so it's not gonna be farm animals, Spose it could be some sort of wildlife I'll try an get a pic Monday if there's somewhere to stop.

seriously, rubbing their bums and necks. usually oak or old sycamores, nice rough bark

If you were doing 80 on the motorway it must have been on the back of a recovery truck or maybe you were being towed by a Toyota!!

With all the snow this year wildlife has resorted to eating bark because grass has been covered/frozen for weeks.
