Housebuilders - Push to Install SWIFT-NESTING-BRICK
14/11/2022
Manthorpe are really pleased to see that local conservationists are pushing housebuilders to install our specialised nesting bricks for swifts - one of the UK's most endangered birds.
Modern building practices have greatly improved the quality of new homes in the UK, however not to the benefit of everyone. Bird species such as swifts have occupied cracks and crevices in our buildings for thousands of years, but the improved standard and style of modern construction has put their survival in our towns and cities at risk.
Manthorpe's nest bricks have been developed in conjunction with major house builders and conservation experts to provide a safe, spacious and habitable area to allow swifts to nest within the construction of modern houses. The number of swifts in the UK is rapidly declining, having fallen by 65% in the past 25 years.
If you are a housebuilder and are keen to be part of this environmental concern, we would love to hear from you!
