Living with trees

Nesting birds and roosts (including fouling)

Trees provide natural habitat for nesting and roosting birds and are protected from damage or destruction under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. 

We do not prune or remove council trees to stop or reduce bird droppings, or remove bird droppings from private land.

Warm soapy water is usually enough to remove the droppings.

For more information see, the Tree and Woodland Policy.
