Active bird nests must not be deliberately damaged or destroyed under wildlife legislation.
What this means in practice
- If nesting birds are present, work affecting the nest may need to be postponed
- The main nesting season typically runs from March to August, though this varies
- Routine trimming away from an active nest can often still proceed
We'll always check for active nests before carrying out significant hedge work and advise if anything needs to be postponed.
