Install nesting boxes

Habitat Function Type of work
Forest
Living environment
Clear-cutting

Preserving and creating habitats for wetland species ensures greater biodiversity.

Description of the action

Install nesting boxes in forests adjacent to clear-cut areas. Clean nesting boxes of old nesting material (best done in autumn or late summer after the breeding season ends). In spring, check if nesting boxes are empty, as small mammals may store food or hibernate in them. Avoid excessive and overly close placement of nesting boxes to ensure birds have enough food for their young. The spacing between nesting boxes depends on bird species but should be at least 50-60 meters.

Why?

Installing nest boxes provides birds with simple nesting sites outside planned logging areas.
