Whether for nesting pipistrelle bats, robins and great tits, or miner bees and hoverflies, John has been making habitat panels for wildlife on buildings for over twenty years.
-
Green Roof Shelters always have wildlife habitat panels as part of the cycle shelters, bin stores or bird hides - placing nesting opportunities close to the food sources of the species-rich flowering roof.
-
Durable chestnut (coppiced locally) is drilled with holes from 2mm up to 10mm for the different UK solitary bee species - that will fill the holes with provisioned cells of egg, nectar and pollen.
-
Cut bamboo canes are used for the larger size solitary bee species - leaf cutters and carders - to lay eggs and provision cells.
-
Sheeps wool habitat panels are included for the nesting material they provide. Birds take the wool as nest lining.
-
Previously Green Roof Shelters made bespoke habitat panels using varied recycled materials ‚ gas and water pipe offcuts, highway conduit offcuts. These are included here as DIY information (we no longer have the capacity to make them ourselves). Much of these you can make yourself, especially with the lighter habitat or forage materials‚ sheeps wool, reed bundles, bamboo bundles - filled with locally sourced materials, for attractive habitat creation.

Green Roof Shelters make Bee Sand Planters as additional wildlife habitat.
