Supporting Ballarat’s native wildlife
Trees provide important habitat for many of Ballarat’s native birds, possums, bats and other wildlife. When old, damaged or hazardous trees need to be removed, natural hollows can sometimes be lost along with them. Installing a purpose-built nest box can help provide an alternative habitat while supporting local wildlife around your property.
Our team supplies and installs nest boxes in Ballarat and surrounding areas, with options designed for a range of native species. Whether you’re looking to encourage wildlife on a residential property, provide additional habitat on a rural block or incorporate nest boxes into a broader tree management project, we can help determine a suitable solution.
Nest boxes designed for local wildlife
Different species have different requirements when it comes to shelter, entrance size, internal space and the position of a nesting site. A nest box should therefore be selected and installed with its intended inhabitants in mind rather than simply attached to the nearest available tree.
Nest boxes can provide habitat for a variety of hollow-dependent wildlife, including native birds, microbats and possums. Where appropriate, we can help select a suitable box and identify an installation location that provides the best chance of it being used.
Professional nest box installation
Correct placement is an important part of nest box installation. Factors such as height, orientation, surrounding vegetation, exposure to weather and accessibility to predators can all influence whether wildlife chooses to use a box.
As experienced tree professionals, we can safely install nest boxes at suitable heights and locations within established trees. This is particularly useful on larger properties or where installation requires specialist climbing or access equipment.
Nest boxes can be installed as a standalone service or incorporated into other tree work being completed on your property.
Supporting habitat after tree removal
Tree removal is sometimes unavoidable, particularly when a tree has become unsafe, structurally compromised or is unsuitable for its location. Where a removed tree contains habitat or hollows, installing nest boxes elsewhere on the property can be one way of helping compensate for the loss of shelter.
