All birds are protected within the law, and with breeding birds there is a risk that a project will be shut down. To prevent this, Falco Natuurbeheer - a specialized company in bird and nesting free grounds - deploys specially trained hunting dogs (pointers and setters) and birds of prey, which chase the birds without killing or injuring them to other areas, where they can nest undisturbed. Thus, construction work is not disturbed or delayed.

In and around ports, business parks and forests, you will find many bird species. But when construction is needed in these kinds of areas, sometimes you have to give nature a helping hand. In a natural, environmentally and animal-friendly way, Falco Nature Management specializes in brood prevention and keeping these areas brood-free. Falco Nature Management is VCA Vol certified and in possession of the falconry certificate issued by the Ministry.
