Deadwood piles help create diverse habitats

Golfplatz Heidental

Switzerland

In our efforts to enhance biodiversity, we have established multiple deadwood piles around the golf course.

The advantages of such habitats are extensive: they offer support for various insects, act as a refuge and hunting ground for small mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, and provide shelter for wildlife during the winter months.

These woodpiles become homes and sources of food for fungi, wood-boring insects, and wood wasps. Simultaneously, they become prey for other animals like spiders, frogs, toads, hedgehogs, and birds. A seemingly basic woodpile can rapidly evolve into a vibrant community of wildlife.
