The National Trust hexagon insect house will make a great addition to any garden, balcony or outdoor area. It is beautifully designed and will offer shelter to a variety of insects that can be beneficial to your garden, for example solitary bees (a non-stinging species) like to use the holes to lay their eggs in.

Insects are integral to achieving a balanced ecosystem in your garden. Species such as ladybirds and lacewings will help to control aphids, and bees deliver an essential pollination service. You can encourage a wide range of beneficial insects into your garden by providing nesting sites and refuges.

Simply place the National Trust hexagon insect house in a sheltered spot, preferably between vegetation, or hang on a nail no higher than 2 metres from the ground.

About the brand

CJ Wildlife

Founded in 1987 on a farm in rural Shropshire by cousins Chris and Ben Whittles, CJ Wildlife is proud to be the market-leading manufacturer and distributor of foods, feeders, and nest boxes for garden wildlife in the UK.

Thanks to extensive research led by their wildlife experts, the range of bird food on the market in the UK has significantly increased since CJ Wildlife was founded more than 35 years ago. Today, over 80 bird species are being fed in gardens, compared to just 18 when they started their company!

Product Details

Sustainability

As a company committed to preserving wildlife it should not be a surprise that CJ Wildlife are also extremely passionate about protecting the wider environment. Please read below for more information on some of their initiatives.

1. Supporting green partners

Every year CJ Wildlife provide income to their green partners across Europe to enable them to carry out vital conservation work. This work includes mass tree planting initiatives, native wildflower planting and general habitat restoration. It also includes feeding and habitat support for endangered species (such as dormice and red squirrels).

2. Sustainable resources

CJ Wildlife opt to purchase sustainable materials wherever they can. This includes their commitment to purchasing FSC-certified woods and papers, flower seeds that are SKAL certified and perennial plants that are ‘On the way to Planet Proof’ certified. For more information, please follow the links below:

They are also passionate believers in the circular economy philosophy which involves reusing, repairing and recycling existing products and their components for as long as possible. As an example, much of their office furniture is sourced from second-hand sources.

3. CO2 reduction

CJ Wildlife are currently working with an independent company to measure and understand their CO2 footprint – and from this setting and publishing targets for reduction. In the meantime, they are already installing smart meters and automated lights across their company. They harness solar power on some sites and are looking to extend this. They also minimize transportation movements by producing and storing inventory close to most of their customers.

4. Smarter, greener packaging

CJ Wildlife are working hard to reduce the amount of single use plastic in their business. This will become apparent if you regularly buy from them. For example, this year they are changing their peanut butter lids from brown to grey as this includes less carbon and so are far easier to recycle.

5. Moving from printing on paper to digital distribution

More and more of CJ Wildlife’s communications are sent digitally instead of printed and posted. Where they do still print, they think hard about the added value it brings in each case and they work with companies that use environmentally conscious printing techniques and FSC-certified paper.

7. Staff-led sustainability team

CJ Wildlife’s entire company is committed to making their business as sustainable as possible. In addition to full senior management team support, they have a grass-roots team of volunteers called ‘green heroes’ that are responsible for generating new ideas and then championing them within the wider business. All staff are welcome to join and so they have volunteers across several locations and from multiple departments – this leads to a healthy mix of experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm.
