SOME EXTRA CREATURE SUPPORTS. The aim of We are the Ark is to create habitats and maximise the diversity and sanctuary available on your land. Some people may have the time and energy to strengthen the ecosystem services offered by their land.

* Tufty grasses. Leave some areas of grassy Arkness which you don’t cut back. Bumblebees, shrews, field mice and many more will Thank you for the accommodation.

• Wildlife pond. If you can take the time and energy to install a small wildlife pond, do! It’s a huge help and support to wildlife. It’s very hard for our wild kin to find clean sources of water these days.

• Log, twig and leaf pile.
Throw a pile of logs somewhere quiet and create a log, twig and leaf pile if you can get hold of them. Lots of creatures will make homes here. Rotting wood and leaves create warmth for many families.

. Lagoon. A container of water with some rotting leaves and inserted twigs for ramped escape routes. Lots of insects need this kind of habitat for their life cycle. ( not best idea if you live in a part of the world where mosquitoes might cause problems for you. )

*Sand or earth bank. Most of our bees are solitary bees. They often live in these places in little bee burrows. 🐝

Rock pile or dry stone wall. Many wild plants like lichens and mosses as well as a host of wild creatures will love you for the perfect home for their needs.

Any more ideas?🪱🦋🪲🕸🐌🦉🐊🐳🦀🦔🌿🌎
