General Discussion : Attaching nestboxes to trees

I want to install two nestboxes on my University Campus.  The Grounds Department does not want me to nail the nestboxes to the trees.  Do you have any suggestions for how I attach a nestbox to a tree.  I do not believe they will let me install a pole either.  Also how high should the nestbox be in a tree?

May I suggest this article. At the bottom of the article are new updated plans for a box an a tower. The tower is easily lowered for the annual cleaning an wood chip replacement as well as monitoring.
Good luck.
