The present device protects a tree stand attached to a tree comprising a fabric member having a first and mating edges. The first edge includes a channel and the mating edge is divided into three sections. The first and third sections are parallel to the tree and the second section is disposed between the first and third sections. Further, the second section includes a channel. The fabric member is configured to cover a portion of the tree stand with the mating edge against the tree. The device includes two securing members each having connectable ends. A portion of the first securing member is disposed within the first channel and a portion of the second securing member is disposed with the second channel. Additionally, the device includes a connecting member having a first end that engages the first securing member and a second end that engages the second securing member.
