How it works

As seen in our installation demonstration video, the NatureArk contains a number of habitats that enable multiple species to coexist and interact as they would in a natural ecosystem.

This includes a removable integrated wet and dry habitat, together with a water reservoir, as well as central and side planting areas. It has full ground contact giving connectivity from the integrated deadwood habitat and planting areas to the surrounding ecosystem.

Its unique design allows the roots of all plants to access water in the reservoirs, but also find their way down the sides and into the ground below.

Designed to protect a variety of species

Deadwood Habitat

• Holds approximately 20 litres
• A cool, damp shelter that is attractive to amphibians, invertebrates, arthropods, and reptiles
• Located in the centre of the NatureArk but with access to the ground below and to the outside of the unit
• Protected by the side planting areas

Wet Habitats & Dry Habitat

• Specially designed for small mammals, hedgehogs and amphibians
• Located at each end of the unit
• Sheltered by the deadwood habitat which provides insulation, protection from predators and reduces external noises which can disturb wildlife

Core Reservoir

• Holds approximately 20 litres
• Positioned above the deadwood habitat to provide additional shelter, keeping the centre dry for species preferring a drier environment
• Provides an additional wet habitat and is designed to overflow into the separate wet habitat unit below, keeping it moist for species requiring this type of environment

Main planting area

• Holds approximately 260 litres
• The topsoil/growing media used here provides insulation and protection to the deadwood habitat below
