Reducing the volume of tree hollows within a system can have adverse effects on the local fauna. Replacing any active hollows removed during land clearance with nest boxes designed to specifically target displaced species is a valuable post-clearance mitigation strategy. 

Many biotic and abiotic factors must be considered when deciding where to locate compensatory habitat - correct aspect, effective height, tree size and species type, surrounding vegetation and water sytems, the proximity of other hollows and the maintenance of overall habitat connectivity.

Keystone Fauna Managements ecologists can source you the right boxes, ensure that installation is carried out correctly and at suitable locations and if required provide an ongoing monitoring program.
