Trees attract wildlife while they shade your house, and sometimes birds, squirrels, and other nesting creatures can interfere with your ability to care for your trees. Luckily, tree care is still possible even if you have animals living in the branches. The team at 4 Seasons Tree Service in Newburgh, NY, believes that trees and animals should be able to thrive.

Here are a few things to help you with your tree care routine if you find a nest in the branches:

  • Avoid Tree Trimming During Nesting Season: When it comes to protecting the wildlife, it’s best to leave the animals alone during their nesting season. Avoid trimming your trees from late spring to early autumn. This will minimize the impact you have on nesting animals while keeping your trees in good shape.
  • Contact a Professional Tree Care Team: Experienced tree contractors know how to work around nests, minimizing the impact their actions have on the animals. If there are maintenance tasks they can do without disturbing the nest, they’ll know the best way to get the job done. If the tree needs to be removed or is otherwise damaged, they’ll know the appropriate measures to take regarding nest removal.
  • Tree careLeave Active Nests Alone: Birds are incredibly picky about their nests and are known to abandon a nest if it shows signs of human interference. Before you move a nest, make sure it has already been abandoned. If you see signs of birds using it, leave it alone and let an experienced arborist and tree care professional advise you on how to handle the situation.
