More about Woodcrete:
The 1B is a versatile nest box made from woodcrete, a special mixture of wood, concrete, and clay which will not leak, rot or warp, and has excellent thermal insulating properties. The material is so strong and long-lasting that Schwegler offers a 25-year guarantee on their products. Schwegler boxes are thought to have the highest occupation rates of all nest boxes and are carefully designed to copy natural nest sites and provide a long-term stable environment for rearing the young and winter roosting.
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.
