Wonderful WoodStone® products for your garden animals & insects

C J Wildlife Stand: N8
Wonderful WoodStone® products for your garden animals & insects

CJ Wildlife takes immense pride in announcing their exclusive WoodStone® product line, designed to provide a sanctuary for a diverse array of garden birds, mammals, and insects. The WoodStone® brand, a harmonious blend of wood and concrete, may evoke an industrial look, yet it is this unique, natural, and sustainable material that fosters an ideal nesting environment. 

Customers investing in any WoodStone® product from CJ Wildlife will be delighted to discover a generous 10-year guarantee, a testament to the quality and durability of the range. 

 

WoodStone® Nestboxes: A Haven for Garden Birds 

Crafted from a mix of wood fibres and concrete, WoodStone® Nestboxes are engineered to maintain a consistent internal temperature, offering a stable haven from the daily temperature shifts. This feature is particularly beneficial during the breeding season, as it allows birds to nest earlier and potentially raise additional broods, capitalising on the abundance of natural food sources like caterpillars. 

The nestboxes’ finely textured surface provides fledglings with a secure grip, aiding their journey into the world. Moreover, the breathable material ensures a condensation-free environment, enhancing the comfort of its feathered occupants. Renowned for their resilience, WoodStone® Nestboxes stand up to all weather conditions and offer superior protection against predators, making them a preferred choice over traditional options. 

Customer favourites include the WoodStone® Seville 32mm Oval Hole Nest Box and the WoodStone® Malaga 32mm Hanging Nest Box, both celebrated for their design and functionality. 

 

WoodStone® Insect Hotels: Buzzing with Life 

The WoodStone® Insect Hotels are a boon for garden ecosystems, providing a nurturing retreat for bees, ladybirds, lacewings, and other beneficial insects. These structures not only facilitate pollination but also contribute to the flourishing biodiversity in your garden. The replaceable bamboo tubes within invite repeated nesting, ensuring a perpetual cycle of life. 

The Isabela and the larger Salina Insect Hotel are among the popular choices, each designed to blend seamlessly with your outdoor aesthetic while serving the needs of your garden’s tiniest inhabitants. 

Solitary bees, such as mason and leafcutter varieties, along with solitary wasps, are frequent visitors, utilising the hotels as a safe place to lay their eggs amidst a supply of pollen. As the larvae mature, this pollen becomes their nourishment, readying them for their emergence. 

For optimal results, position the Insect Hotel in a sunlit spot near an array of pollen-rich flora, ensuring easy access for the insects. The included metal hook allows for effortless mounting on walls or fences. During the colder months, safeguard your insect hotel by storing it in a sheltered location, away from the elements. 

 

Expanding the WoodStone® Family: Bat Boxes and Frog Houses 

In addition to the nestboxes and insect hotels, CJ Wildlife is proud to offer Bat Boxes and Frog Houses, also crafted from the remarkable WoodStone® material. These products provide well-regulated resting spots for bats and frogs, further enriching the diversity of your garden wildlife. 

CJ Wildlife remains dedicated to enhancing the lives of garden animals and insects, and the WoodStone® range is a shining example of this commitment. For more information, please visit our website or contact our customer service team.

We are thrilled with the incredible response from our very first exhibition at PATS! The three days were absolutely brilliant, giving us the opportunity to connect with many new and existing customers. PATS proved to be the perfect platform for launching our new catalogue and introducing over 350 brand-new SKUs. We can't wait to be a part of next year's event at the NEC!

I think it’s a great idea to add a third day to PATS. We’re here for all three days, giving us enough time to meet everyone and make informed decisions about stocking new products. We also like PATS because of all the networking opportunities.

At PATS 2024 it was lovely to reconnect with our existing customers while also having the opportunity to meet potential new ones. We were thrilled to launch three new ranges during the show, Canagan Petite, Canagan Raw (Freeze Dried Treats and Toppers) and Symply Little, all of which have sold amazingly well, further highlighting the value of this event for showcasing our innovations. Looking ahead, we believe that the Birmingham NEC could offer significant advantages, including improved transport links and a larger venue to accommodate a growing number of exhibitors and visitors, both will enhance the overall experience.

We’ve been rushed off our feet on all three days. It has been an excellent show and I love the fact you can spend more time with visitors. I will definitely need a larger stand in 2025

We’ve missed going to Aqua so we’re really happy to be visiting the Aquatics Zone at PATS. We’ve come to see the new products, find out about deals on offer and meet people face to face. It’s also a great opportunity for networking with other shops and companies and building new relationships – something we have missed out on during the Covid years

We’ve come to PATS for the whole three days because you just can’t do it justice in only two. For us, as we deal with the whole spectrum of the pet industry, we spend day one wandering through the halls to see what catches our eye and day two doing our buying – but we’ve found that by the end of the second day we haven’t always got round to everyone. So the third day is a real bonus. There is less of a rush to get it all done and we can spend more time building relationships and ensuring we’ve caught all the deals and found all the new products we might want to stock. PATS is an important highlight of the year and we wouldn’t want to miss any of it!

It was great to see the Aquatics Zone sold out and full of exhibitors. For us at J&K it was a pleasure, as always, to catch up with a good number of our longstanding customers as well as meet with and introduce our brands and product ranges to potential new ones. Hopefully the new format for 2025, moving into a larger venue, capable of accommodating even more exhibitors, and with better air, road and rail access, will encourage even more visitors, allowing the show to grow in the years to come.

I’m a big advocate of having three show days because it gives you more time to spend with clients. PATS keeps growing in a good way because it gives more companies – big and small, old and new – the platform to make their mark. I had a look at the New Starter Zone and loved the buzz that these new companies were creating. PATS is great for the UK pet industry
