Our minibeast zones allow your inquisitive learners to get hands on experience hunting for minibeasts, as well as increase the natural value of your outdoor space by providing cover for invertebrates, amphibians and hedgehogs.
These zones are typically comprised of low raised beds filled with woodchip, insect friendly plants, and hibernacula.
The woodchip makes a great habitat for woodlice and centipedes whilst the insect-friendly plants attract bees and butterflies. One school we worked with even reported finding newts and slow worms in their bug zone!
The deluxe variant of the minibeast zone we call the Minibeast Resort, featuring several zones in one. The pond zone (can be fitted with optional mesh security lid), a plant zone for those all-important flowers to attract insects and a discovery zone with hibernacula and trapdoors.
We also include a basic pond dipping kit with every raised pond – net, sampling pots, bug viewer, pipette, sample tray and ID chart. We also provide stacked pallets for children to stuff with material to create their very own bug hotel. These can be provided pre or partially stuffed.
