Crowngate’s new bug hotel has been built to provide a safe hideaway for wildlife and to help make use of garden waste. A well-built hotel can shelter hedgehogs, toads, solitary bees, bumblebees, ladybirds, woodlice, and many more insects and creatures.
Students from Perrywood Primary and Nursery School, Worcestershire Children First and New Hope Worcester will be working with us to fill the Bug Hotel with bricks, leaves, corrugated carboards, dry leaves, sticks, wood and loose tree bark to encourage wildlife to make a new home in the purpose-built hotel.
