Habitat Creation and Nest Boxes

Creating and Preserving Wildlife Habitats

As urbanisation continues to encroach upon natural habitats, the importance of creating and preserving wildlife habitats within urban environments becomes increasingly apparent. At Assurance Trees, we recognise the significance of habitat creation and have had the privilege of participating in various projects aimed at enhancing biodiversity and supporting local wildlife populations.

Our involvement in habitat creation initiatives encompasses a range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of different species. One aspect of our work involves the installation of artificial boxes designed to accommodate specific wildlife species. These boxes are strategically placed to provide shelter, nesting sites, or roosting areas, depending on the requirements of the target species. From birdhouses to bat boxes and nesting structures for native mammals, we ensure that each installation meets the unique needs of the intended inhabitants.

Natural-style Hollows

In addition to artificial structures, we specialise in the creation of natural-style hollows within trees. These hollows mimic the natural cavities found in mature trees, which are essential habitat features for many bird and mammal species. By carefully sculpting and shaping tree hollows, we provide valuable nesting and roosting opportunities for wildlife while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the urban landscape.

Our approach to habitat creation is guided by industry best practices outlined in MIS312 Environmental Arboriculture. This comprehensive standard governs the planning, design, and implementation of habitat enhancement projects, ensuring that our efforts are aligned with conservation objectives and ecological principles. By adhering to these guidelines, we strive to maximise the effectiveness and sustainability of our habitat creation endeavours, contributing to the preservation of biodiversity and the promotion of healthy ecosystems within urban areas.
