Stag Beetle Loggery Building at Marble Hill Park

Join us in making Eco-friendly Beetle habitats to encourage biodiversity within Marble Hill and learn all about British Stag Beetles!

Loggeries, or log piles, provide an important structural habitat for stag beetles. The decaying wood acts as a vital food source for the beetles’ larvae and as habitat in which to lay their eggs. With stag beetle numbers declining all across Europe these manmade habitats can have a huge impact in keeping the iconic stag beetle around.

In this event, Habitats & Heritage and our partner English Heritage will inform you about stag beetles and their importance in the UK, the vital role of loggeries and finally, how to build your own loggery. We will be holding four 45 minute sessions at 10am, 11am, 12pm and 1pm on the 11th of December and we are meeting at the car park inside Marble Hill Park. The event is open to all ages!

Register for the event free of charge, and if you have any questions please email us at hello@habitatsandheritage.org.uk.
