The Wildlife Shelter Home

Full of nooks & crannies and hidey-holes, there are plenty of corners for ladybirds and spiders to huddle in through a cold winter, or for woodlice and snails to hide out on hot summer days. Not only that, but as the wood starts to decay, beetle larvae – and other invertebrates – will be able to munch on the rotten wood to gain the nutrients they need. This high-rise accommodation for creepy-crawlies is easy to make from all your unwanted recycled materials so you could create one for your own garden.
This particular home above was built by children at the RSPB Open day- facilitated by Kate Doubleday
