Barrett Paving – New York Central
In a step toward promoting wildlife conservation, Barrett NYC has installed four bird boxes at its sites this year—with plans to add four more in the coming months. These boxes are designed specifically to support the Eastern Bluebird, New York’s official state bird.
Each pair of bird boxes is mounted about six feet off the ground and spaced 10–12 feet apart. This strategic setup helps deter barn swallows, which are known to prey on bluebirds, from disturbing the nesting sites.
Birds like the Eastern Bluebird are considered key indicators of environmental health. By creating safe habitats, Barrett NYC is not only helping to protect these native species but also contributing to a broader understanding of the local ecosystem’s well-being.
We take pride in our work
Barrett NYC is proud to support initiatives that strengthen the connection between our operations and the environment. Small efforts like these bird boxes make a big difference—for wildlife and for future generations.
