As the weather gets warmer, the trees are starting to bloom and animals are coming out of hibernation. It is also time to start cutting and pruning your trees! Here’s how you can make your trees tidy and habitable for wildlife:
- Choose the Right Time: March is the time that animals start their nesting season. It is recommended that you trim and prune your trees close early-middle of the month to avoid disturbing animals’ nests. If you happen to spot a nest on a branch you were going to cut, it’s best to just leave it alone.
- Keep it Safe: You should always prioritize safety above all when cutting branches. It’s important to use the right gear, tools, and to know your limits.
- Plant with Wildlife in Mind: Once your tree maintenance is done, consider planting some greenery to offer more habitat options for animals. Many plants also play a role not only as a habitat, but as a food source.
