Menu ROOTED IN TRADITION REACHING FOR TOMORROW Our Story Our Shelters Proud Partners Our Impact Our Facility KFT SHELTERS are also an effective climate change adaptation and mitigation tool, reducing hydric stress by capping air flow and keeping shelter temperatures lower than ambient air during peak temperatures. This process allows the seedlings protected by KFT shelters to grow root hairs capable of successfully foraging for reduced soil moisture, enabling them to withstand longer periods of drought and decreasing rates of plantation mortality. Models Ring sizes: 4.5″, 6.0″ – Height: 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 5ft Both 4.5″ and 6″ ring models are available in 2, 3, 4 and 5-foot heights. Please contact us at info@khowutzunfreegro.ca to place an order or to inquire about our tree protector products. STANDING THE TEST OF TIME Our exclusive Friction Grip Clip design remains fully secured to the support stake at all times, ensuring shelters are always windfirm and sturdy, and without losing tension over time. We are proud to offer an exceptional product that results in enhanced tree growth, lower costs, increased timber yields and values, and improved carbon sequestration rates.
