Why are nest boxes important?
Natural nest sites are being lost having devastating consequences for bird species. Birds are an essential component of functioning ecosystems and have a direct impact on human populations and millions of other species. It is therefore important to provide our feathered friends with a home.

SITING: 3 keyholes for hanging box accessible through entrance hole, 3 holes at base for further security.
Place on a large deciduous tree in a coppice or wood, in a relatively secluded spot ideally in the woodland rather than on the fringes. Site at least 3m high with branches nearby for the fledglings to exercise. Face the box away from prevailing winds (usually west/southwest in the UK) and ideally out of the full sun, although this generally isn’t a problem if they are sited within a woodland.
Place a layer of loose dry woodchips or shredded bark in the base of the box before March.
