  • Deadwood is good!

Deadwood is good!

Conservation officers Oli and Victoria have been making minibeast windows to put around Brockhole.

Over time the wood will decay, attracting lots of different bugs including beetles, woodlice, slugs, and worms.

Why not make your own minibeast window to put in your garden and be sure to lift them up carefully when checking what's underneath!
