Hi Equilibrium,
My "brush pile" is about 6' X 4' and is at least a temporary residence for an opossum. This pile has been in existense since this past October due to construction problems and delays. I do worry about the eventual removal of the pile. My real brush pile is about 3' X 3' and made up mostly the 10 christmas trees I cut up to use as mulch over the winter. I would like to move the 2nd pile and would like to know when the best time to do that would be. I would be curious to see how you set up your pile and who you hope to attract. I'm afraid I usually only keep my pile for one year then move it due to limited space.
