The types available are Tawny Owl tubes, Barn Owl Chalets, Little Owl Boxes, Bat Boxes and Dormouse Boxes
Tawny Owl Tube

Barn Owl Chalet and Little Owl Boxes
There are two Barn Owl Chalets and two Little Owl boxes available for installation at suitable farm or woodland sites
Bat Boxes
There are six Bat boxes available for installation at suitable woodland sites. The preference is to find three suitable sites where a pair of boxes can be installed. It is important that once installed the Bat boxes are only inspected by a licensed handler.
Dormice Boxes
The three Dormouse boxes have been installed at a small woodland in the Exe valley in April 2011. There are no more free Dormice boxes available. Updates will be posted from time to time on the blog at nesting box news
The free nesting boxes are subject to availability and approval after a site visit at a convenient time. As the nesting boxes are installed details will be updated on this web page regarding allocation. After installation any news regarding the nesting boxes will be posted on the blog periodically.
