Wildlife Haven Builders
Earn the materials, build homes for wildlife and give them to the community.
About
Wildlife Haven Builders is a hands-on, eco-friendly activity in which teams build sustainable bird boxes, insect hotels and bat boxes that give local wildlife a safe place to live.
Before building starts, teams must earn their materials by completing eco challenges on tablets. The challenges are creative, mental and physical at different difficulty levels, and teams send their best people to the bird, bat and insect challenges they can win.
Strong leadership, strategy and communication make all the difference, as teams can gain an edge by handling several challenges at once.
With materials secured, teams divide roles and build three wildlife habitats from 3D plans, then decorate the timber structures to set criteria. All the finished habitats can be donated to a local community group, school or nature park.
Learning outcomes
Wildlife Haven Builders is fun, practical and inclusive, with a positive local impact. Each team's success comes down to clear roles and smart choices about which challenges to take on.
Participants learn about local ecology and how human activity affects birds, bats and insects, and discover simple actions that help those populations grow.
The relaxed format is a great icebreaker. Teams weigh risk against reward, and with the clock running, people need to speak up about the challenges they can confidently finish. Quieter colleagues often shine in the challenges that suit them best.
Trust builds as each challenge is won, and people learn to appreciate each other's abilities. Seeing the finished habitats go to a good home gives the day a lasting purpose.
