Tree Hollow Habitats

Instead of removing a dead tree from your property, you can think about turning it into a habitat hollow. Man-made habitat hollows are gaining popularity, offering safe shelters to wildlife.

Not only that, but we can also help you create a habitat in living trees. In fact, we find working on living trees more suitable because of the stable internal temperatures. Moreover, the entrances can be concealed under foliage.

Tree hollow habitats add value to your property and its surroundings. The Surf Coast and its surroundings offer attractive sites, thanks to all those trees. When we add tree hollows, it will automatically make this region more biodiverse, enhancing its character and ecological benefits.

For this purpose, you need a certified arborist. Ocean Road Tree Services can help you create those natural shelters and nests.

FAQs

Is it dangerous for the tree?

The arborist doing the hollow will not do tree work that they think is dangerous for the tree. If they are worried, they would recommend a hanging tree hollow.

What bird life do you get in the hollow?

We get all sorts of birds in the hollows we make. However its always best to let us know what bird life you want to attract in your trees and we will make a habitat hollow specific for that bird. We have even made ones for sugar gliders in anglesea.
