The other day I wrote a blog about "the start of something (that will be) wonderful..." (Click on the words to open the blog post), well I wanted to show you what it is!
Over the half term we had our Wacky Wildlife Adventures - the holiday activities for the kids. Well we made this fantastic feature...
After a slight location change - it's been moved onto the field next to the lapwing hide. We are planning to turn part of this area into a fantastic wildlife orchard, so we've build our feature in there.
I can reveal that this fabulous feature is infact.... (drum roll)... a minibeast hotel!
This is a great habitat for minibeasts - it's made from pallets stacked on top of each other to create the frame. The gaps are filled with lots of different materials to create hidy-holes and warm places for creatures to live. Inside our hotel we have:
Underneath the base there is a section with pond liner filled with compost for toads! They are easy to make so would be a great thing to make your gardens.
A big thank you to Nathan, Callum, Lani, Kitty, Felix, Tristan, William, Francesca, Millie, Chester, Ellen, Dave, Tom and Keith for creating this hotel!
The minibeasts are going to love it!
