Eric - Usually with fencing. In some valleys, one can see rows of birch trees stripped away of leaves by sheep up to a level within their reach.

Russ,

Here in the sub-Arctic, Winter arrives early. Fall is usually a blink-and-you-miss-it event.

I recall seeing one "protected" grove of trees with a fence. There was also a style (steps on either side) for humans to get in and out of the grove. Inside the fence, resting comfortably (and looking a bit smug, I think) was a sheep! :)

I like it a lot, bravo!
