Taylor Wimpey encourages Cullompton school children to get involved with nature

Children from a school in Cullompton have been getting creative by designing their own bug hotels to be installed at Taylor Wimpey’s nearby Culm Valley Park development.

As part of its aim to encourage biodiversity in and around the community, Taylor Wimpey Exeter invited children at Willowbank Primary School to get involved with nature by asking them to design and paint their own bug hotels. The bug hotels once designed were placed in Taylor Wimpey’s showhome garden at its Culm Valley Park site where it can welcome wildlife and pollinators into the garden.

Wendy Mogford, Forest School Leader at Willowbank Primary School, said: “We’re so pleased to have been involved in Taylor Wimpey’s bug hotel initiative. We think this is a great way of encouraging the pupils to learn more about nature, insects, and wildlife overall and it’s great to see the hotels being showcased in the garden of Taylor Wimpey’s showhome at its Culm Valley Park development.”

Melissa Langton, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Exeter, said: “It was brilliant to see the enthusiasm from all of the pupils at Willowbank Primary Primary and it was amazing to see such unique designs. We’ve displayed the bug hotels around the development for our customers all to see. It’s beautiful to witness the next generation actively engaging with nature and learning about the importance of wildlife conservation.”
