Celebrating 25 Years of Environmental Commitment with Kestrel and Barn Owl Bird Boxes in the North York Moors

This year, our company marks 25 years in business. 25 years of dedication to environmental improvements! As a way of celebrating, we are thrilled to announce a special project: the sponsorship of two bird boxes in the beautiful North York Moors National Park. Working with the fantastic team at Make It Wild, a local conservation charity, we have installed one bird box for kestrels and another for barn owls near the village of Chop Gate, in the beautiful North York Moors. This sponsorship underscores our commitment to improving the environment, not just as a company but as individuals who care deeply about the landscapes and species around us.

These boxes will play a crucial role in supporting kestrels and barn owls, both of which have faced challenges due to habitat loss and changing agricultural practices. By providing safe nesting sites in this serene part of the North York Moors, we aim to help these iconic birds thrive and establish a strong foothold in their natural habitats.

Why Kestrels and Barn Owls?

Kestrels and barn owls are among the UK’s most cherished raptors. Kestrels, known for their characteristic hovering flight, often rely on open countryside and moorland, while barn owls, with their distinctive heart-shaped faces, are a familiar sight across farmland and wild grasslands. Yet both species have seen population declines in recent years. Our sponsorship through Make It Wild is part of a larger effort to reverse these trends by ensuring kestrels and barn owls have places to roost, hunt, and raise their young.

Partnering with Make It Wild

Make It Wild has a rich history of conservation work, and their dedication to improving local ecosystems aligns perfectly with our own values. They have successfully installed various nest boxes across the North Yorkshire landscape, as well as in the Peak District and Norfolk, creating safe spaces for wildlife and bringing community attention to conservation issues. You can learn more about their inspiring work with nest boxes here.

Looking Forward

As we look to the future, our goal remains the same: to champion environmental improvements for the benefit of future generations. These bird boxes are a small but impactful way in which we are contributing to the health of local wildlife, and we look forward to hearing reports of kestrels and barn owls making these boxes their home.

Thank you to our clients, partners, and community members for supporting our mission over the past 25 years. Together, we continue to make meaningful strides toward a greener, more sustainable future.
