Lancaster is taking a significant step forward in wildlife conservation with the launch of a new project dedicated to saving the beloved swifts. These small, agile birds are a familiar sight in our skies, particularly during the summer months. However, their numbers have been declining, prompting local conservationists to take action.
The project aims to address the challenges faced by swifts, primarily the loss of nesting sites due to modern building practices. Swifts traditionally nest in the eaves of older buildings, but as these structures are renovated or replaced, suitable nesting sites are becoming scarce. To combat this, the project will focus on installing swift boxes on buildings throughout Lancaster, providing these birds with much-needed nesting opportunities.
Local residents and businesses are encouraged to participate in this initiative. By installing swift boxes on their properties, they can contribute to the conservation efforts and enjoy the delightful presence of swifts swooping through the air. It’s a simple yet effective way to support our local wildlife and ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy these remarkable birds.

Our team is committed to helping residents find properties that not only meet their needs but also contribute positively to the local ecosystem.
