In Australia, mature trees provide essential shelter for many native species, including birds, owls, bats, and possums. These natural hollows are increasingly lost through pruning, storm damage, decay, or development. To offset this loss, wildlife boxes (also known as nest boxes, bird boxes, or habitat boxes) can be installed to provide secure nesting sites for native fauna.
At ArbCert, we specialise in professional wildlife box installation and supply as part of our arboricultural services. Our AQF Level 5 consulting arborists recommend and install species-specific boxes for birds, possums, and other small mammals. Each installation considers placement, orientation, and height to maximise successful occupation while protecting tree health.
Supporting biodiversity is straightforward. Contact ArbCert today to discuss wildlife box installation for your property.
Nesting and wildlife boxes provide safe, artificial shelter where natural hollows are limited. Nesting boxes (or bird boxes) support native Australian birds, while wildlife boxes are designed for small mammals such as possums. These purpose-built structures help conserve native species, particularly in areas affected by pruning, land clearing, or urban development.
ArbCert supplies and installs durable nesting and wildlife boxes across New South Wales. Our arborists carefully select the right box type and placement to suit the species present and the conditions of your site.

Contact UsNesting boxes are essential for providing safe shelter and breeding sites for native wildlife in areas where natural hollows are scarce. Many Australian birds, bats, and small mammals rely on tree hollows for survival, but these are increasingly lost through development, pruning, and storm damage. Installing a nesting box helps replace this lost habitat, supports biodiversity, and encourages native species to thrive on your property or in public green spaces.
Wildlife boxes are usually installed high in mature trees, positioned at heights and orientations that suit the target species. Placement takes into account factors such as sun exposure, prevailing winds, and the need to protect wildlife from predators. The installation process itself is generally quick, often completed within one to two hours per box, depending on access, tree height, and site conditions.
