As a protected wild animal, the hedgehog today is often dependent on housing assistance. Suitable sleeping and nesting places in the wild are rare and houses like this one made of natural larch wood for the garden are a good alternative. Placed in a sheltered spot, it provides a resting place for the hedgehog. The square entrance with the lowered canopy keeps uninvited guests out, and a flap can be opened at the back to fill with dried leaves and occasionally clean the inside of the house. The untreated wood will adapt to the weather over time, swell and shrink and show the typical gray coloration or even small cracks.

Natural disorder is missing almost everywhere in our tidy landscape. There are hardly any bushes and hedges left around the large agricultural areas, and in home gardens, flowering plants are immediately pruned and cut back, leaves and prunings removed. As a result, there are fewer and fewer natural habitats for beneficial insects and, incidentally, for our native songbirds.

Nesting aids and feeders are the best way to revitalize the garden and improve the ecosystem. This allows beneficial insects to settle, making the use of pesticides superfluous and at the same time allowing illuminating observations. In this way, species protection and nature experience can be combined very easily. As the animals prefer individual formats, the choice of nesting aid can be used to promote specific species in a relatively targeted manner. Our nesting and feeding areas are made from durable and attractive materials.
