Red Squirrel Nest Box - Plywood - L20 x W15 x H50 cmRed squirrels have declined markedly in the UK over the last 50 years, with the introduced North American grey squirrel replacing it in many areas. If red squirrels are still present in the area you can help them out by providing a nest box which will provide a warm, dry space in which to raise their young. Boxes can offer a safer squirrel nest than natural dreys which can be susceptible to soaking in heavy rain, collapse in high winds and under the weight of adults and young. They may also be used as a dry refuge in winter.Our red squirrel nest box has been designed after consultation with experts to provide a safesurroundingfor red squirrels. Each box has multiple entrances to make it easy for the squirrels to access the box. The boxes should be sited on a tree in a woodland area as high as possible (at least 3m).Most of the panels for this box are precision cut from exterior grade plywood, whilst the front is precision machined from softwood with its bark still on.Features:Provides the endangered red squirrels with a warm, dry nest box to raise their young.Squirrel nest box designed with multiple entrances to make it easy for the squirrels and young to access the box.Fully constructed from wood.Multiple fixing holes for easy positioning on a tree.Specifications:Materials: Exterior Grade Plywood with Natural Softwood front.Construction: Panels stapled together with surface sunk staples.Finish: Non-toxic water based stain and preservativeFixing: Mounting holes at top and bottom of back panel.Dimensions and WeightDimensions: Overall height: 50cm, Overall width: 15cm, Overall Depth: 20cm4.5kg
