Habitat Creation and Conservation
Providing Everything You Need
Snag Creation
Snag creation turns dead or dying trees into standing habitats with significant ecological benefits. Snags provide nesting and roosting sites for birds and bats and food sources for insects and fungi, boosting biodiversity and enhancing an area's ecological value.
Snags also play a role in the natural decay process, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem and promoting a balanced environment. Preserving snags supports forest health and sustainability, benefiting both wildlife and broader ecological processes
Stumperies
Stumperies are garden and woodland features made from the stumps, logs, and roots of dead or felled trees, arranged in a visually pleasing way. They provide a unique and naturalistic habitat, ideal for a variety of wildlife. Stumperies offer a haven for insects, such as beetles and ants, which in turn attract birds and small mammals.
Additionally, stumperies promote the growth of fungi, mosses, and ferns, contributing to biodiversity and creating microhabitats. By incorporating stumperies into landscapes, you can support a diverse range of species and encourage ecological balance.
Habitat Piles
Habitat piles are collections of logs, branches, and other natural debris, carefully arranged to create a safe environment for wildlife. These piles offer shelter, nesting sites, and foraging opportunities for various species, including insects, small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
Habitat piles contribute to biodiversity by providing microhabitats within a broader ecosystem. They encourage the natural decay process, returning nutrients to the soil and fostering a healthy environment. By incorporating habitat piles into outdoor spaces, you can enhance wildlife presence and support a more balanced ecosystem.
