A safe home for birds and small mammals alike.
Many bird species find it increasingly difficult to find suitable breeding sites. Through this project, various nest boxes are produced, installed and maintained, tailored to the needs of different species. Depending on the location, provisions for squirrels or other small animals can also be integrated.
Your contribution covers
- production
- installation
