Members of the men's shed have created more than 30 bird boxes to provide a safe haven for animals that may have lost their homes during the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires.

The project was made possible by a Bushfire Recovery Grant from the Shoalhaven City Council.

Stephen Lawes is behind the project and said it was a practical and meaningful way members could help with bushfire recovery.

"We're all aware of the devastation of the 2019 2020 fires, and the devastating impact that had on all the local wildlife and loss of habitat, loss of food sources," said the Culburra Beach Men's Shed member.

"It's always been on our mind since the fire.

"It was also a meaningful project for the men shed itself to undertake for the benefit of our members."

Mr Lawes said each box has been carefully designed to protect different types of species.

"The critical element with most bird boxes is the entry hole," he said.

"Obviously any species - bird, possum, frogs - they'll take a naturally occurring cavity with the smallest possible hole and where other natural predators can't get in."

President of the Culburra Beach Men's Shed, Ray Sutton, said the men went into "full production" to produce 30 boxes.

"Most of the guys in the shed have participated in manufacturing some part of them," said Mr Sutton.

"It took around two months."

The boxes will be delivered to Shoalhaven City Council where it will distribute them to suitable locations across the South Coast.

Shoalhaven Mayor Amanda Findley expressed her gratitude for the members of the men's shed for delivering the boxes.

"A big thanks to the Culburra Beach Men's Shed for creating the bird boxes," she said.

"The bird boxes are been a really important part of recovering the landscape and National Parks and Wildlife have been using other kinds of biodegradable homes as well to help bring mammals back as well as birds.

"So it's a great program and I'm really pleased that council has supported them with the finances."
