Logging of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) in the swamps of the southeastern United States is once again becoming common and an area of particular concern in Louisiana is the regeneration of cypress in its natural environment. One way to ensure the proper stocking of cypress is to plant seedlings, but nutria usually damage or destroy newly planted seedlings and are a deterrent to cypress regeneration in flooded areas. In 1985 cypress seedlings were planted in a flooded logged area and in an area where flooding was preventing the establishment of natural seedlings. Nutria destroyed 86% of the seedlings in …

Vexar seedling protectors were tested for preventing nutria damage to baldcypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich) seedlings planted in Louisiana
swamp forests. Five areas were planted with 1-year-old baldcypress seedlings. Half the seedlings in each area were protected with Vexar seedling protectors. The protectors slowed down the rate of destruction in some areas, but after 3 months, 85% of the guarded seedlings and 87% of the unguarded seedlings were destroyed.
