More help for birds, bugs and bats from Wildlife World

Wildlife conservation product specialists Wildlife World will announce a number of new products at next month’s Spring Fair (NEC Birmingham, 7-11 Feb)

Focus is expected to centre on three launches in particular: the Archway Ground Feeder, an attractive bird feeder with a long clear arch to keep bird food dry, a nine-room Insect Hotel and the Vincent Pro Bat Box, the design of which has been tried and tested in conjunction with the Vincent Wildlife Trust which has been pioneering mammal conservation for 40 years. 

The new products join Wildlife World’s highly regarded portfolio of habitats for a host of species, from bees, butterflies and ladybirds to dormice, frogs and hedgehogs.  The company’s award winning biomes will also be on display, including its popular Bee & Bug biome for over-wintering.  All of these include a laminated species guide plus a pack of native wildflower seeds to enable the creation of a species-specific wildlife area.

The innovative Urban Range of bird boxes and feeders designed for city living won the European Consumer Choice award in 2015, while the colourful New England Bird Nest Box was voted by the Daily Telegraph as one of the best ‘Garden Buys’ at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show last summer.

The company’s Supersize products, launched last year, will make their Spring Fair debut.  Standing 1.5 metres tall, there is a Giant Bee and Bug Biome, a Giant Solitary Bee Hive and a Giant Pyramid Insect Hotel, all designed to act as a focal point feature at retail stores and garden centres.

Wildlife World’s most popular product is the Hedgehog Igloo, a safe haven with a small entrance to protect hedgehogs from predators and encourage breeding.

All Wildlife World products are tested in-house to ensure that they are sustainable and safe for wildlife to use. The environmentally-friendly materials used include FSC certified timber, recycled plastics and wildlife-friendly water-based paints.
