Bird Nesting Season is Ending:
Time to Tackle Your Delayed Landscape and Tree Care!
As summer winds down, bird nesting season is coming to an end. From March to August, many of us have had to put off garden and tree care tasks to protect our feathered friends.
But with the end of August here, it’s the perfect time to get back to work on your outdoor spaces! Whether you’ve been waiting to prune those overgrown trees, trim hedges, or complete other landscaping tasks, Beechwood Trees and Landscapes is here to help you get things back on track.
What is Bird Nesting Season?
Bird nesting season, which runs from early March to late August, is a critical time for many bird species across the UK. During this period, birds are busy building nests, laying eggs, and raising their young. To protect these vulnerable creatures, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it illegal to disturb active nests or harm any nesting birds. This legislation is crucial for preserving our bird populations and maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystems.
While bird nesting season is essential for wildlife, it can sometimes pose a challenge for property owners and gardeners. Many routine garden tasks, such as tree pruning, hedge trimming, and major landscaping work, are put on hold to avoid disturbing nests or harming birds.
How Bird Nesting Season Affects Lawn and Tree Care:
During bird nesting season, homeowners and professionals alike are advised to take a cautious approach to garden maintenance. Tree work, hedge cutting, and even some lawn care activities may need to be delayed if there’s any risk of disturbing nesting birds. While this can be frustrating for those eager to maintain their gardens, it’s a small price to pay for protecting our local wildlife.
However, this delay can lead to overgrown trees, hedges that need trimming, and lawns that could use some care. With the season now ending, it’s time to address these issues and ensure your garden remains healthy and beautiful. Delaying further could lead to problems like disease or damage, which might be more costly and time-consuming to fix later on.
Why Now is the Perfect Time for Postponed Work:
With bird nesting season ending in late August, now is the ideal time to tackle all those postponed gardening tasks! Late summer and early autumn offer perfect conditions for many types of garden work:
Optimal Weather: The cooler temperatures of late summer and early autumn make it easier and more comfortable to work outside, whether you’re pruning trees or giving your lawn a much-needed makeover.
Preparation for Winter: Pruning and trimming in early autumn helps prepare your trees and plants for the colder months, reducing the risk of damage from winter weather and promoting healthier growth in the spring.
Less Disruption: With nesting season over, you can work on your garden without worrying about disturbing wildlife. This is particularly important for tasks like tree surgery or hedge trimming, which can be disruptive to nesting birds.
