Bug Hotels at Milton Creek Country Park

Local to the Cooks Lane project in Milton Creek Country Park. Set in 128 acres, Milton Creek Country Park stretches from the shores of the Milton Creek, past Asda and Milton Regis’s Holy Trinity Church, to the paper mill and fishing lakes in Kemsley. There is a community events space and natural play area as well as an extensive network of paths and lakes used by both the local community and an abundance of wildlife.

EQUANS are always looking for ways to combine benefitting the local community and the natural environment, so we were more than happy to donate 2 pallets full of bricks that will be used at one of the parks many events to create bug hotels.

Bug hotels provide snug and safe places for insects to hibernate. Full of dark holes a bug hotel will benefit lots of different types of minibeast and insects such as ladybirds, bees, spiders and woodlice. Minibeasts can then use a bug hotel as a safe space to shelter, lay their eggs, raise their young, and seek refuge from predators.
