Rustic Bird Feeders and Bird Houses
We manage our woodlot for restoration and diversity of Acadian Forest species and for diversity of wildlife habitat. A parallel management goal is to create conditions in which strong trees can grow even bigger and stronger, in the fervent belief that forest resources should be managed for the highest possible value. In practice this all means we weed out weak and poorly formed trees, we plant Acadian forest species of trees and shrubs in forest openings, and we do everything we can to foster diverse wildlife habitat.
All of our wood products originate from our own or nearby responsibly managed woodlots. We utilize trees damaged in storms, trees killed by beavers or porcupines and trees removed during thinning operations conducted to improve forest stands. Our goal is to create both beautiful and useful products that foster a greater appreciation of the value of Nova Scotia woodlands. Many of our small and practical products can be used in place of plastic or metal, and they are all completely renewable and carry a very low carbon footprint.
Our rustic bird feeders are constructed from native Nova Scotia Hemlock or Tamarack, both durable and weather resistant woods. Non-wood components of bird feeders come from recycled clothesline and recycled eel traps.
