Attracting, Building Habitats, & Tending to: Bats, Birds, Fish, Turtles....
Building a nesting box, house.... is the fun part. But is keeping a written schedule and yearly upkeep sound more than
fun too? Then you can become a responsible custodian! The major downfall of most nest structures on private land is that
maintenance generally drops off with time, causing nest boxes, houses.... to become useless, or even worse, death traps. Consider
first making culverts, which offer ideal nesting conditions and, if properly installed, require very little maintenance after
the initial installation.
