National Nest Box Week began in 1997 by the British Trust for Ornithology, this week celebrates the 24th anniversary of Nest Box Week!
National Nest Box Week is a way for people to help wild animals in their garden by providing wild animals with nesting boxes.
It's also a great way to raise awareness about how wild animals are declining - by providing nest boxes in your garden, you help give nature a chance to thrive and survive, both in your garden and in nature at a time when nature is declining.
Our gardens can become mini-habitats, where we can provide space, shelter, food, and water for wild animals.
One of the ways you can help animals is by providing them with a nest box, or several nest boxes in your garden.
Birds are probably the most common wild animal that comes into our gardens. Providing bird boxes is a great way to help provide bird shelter in your garden.
There are many different beautiful bird boxes that you can put up in your garden. Bird boxes come in different shapes and sizes.
