Beavers are known to eat the bark of maple trees, as they consume the inner bark, called cambium, for its nutrients. Additionally, deer may strip the bark from young maple trees during the winter months when other food sources are scarce. Other animals, like porcupines, also feed on the bark of various tree species, including maple.

The Bark
Deer LOVE to eat the bark from a sap tree....the tree that gives maple honey.
A maple tree can be debarked by cutting into the bark of the tree and then peeling or stripping it away. This is hard on a tree and should only be done when necessary.
Damaging the bark on a maple tree can be caused by several factors, including mechanical injury from lawn equipment, animal activity such as gnawing by mice or deer, and environmental stressors like extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, fungal infections and pests, such as borers or scale insects, can weaken the bark and lead to further damage. Proper tree care and protection measures can help mitigate these risks.
