Stag beetle conservation

Stag beetles in favoured areas respond well to conservation measures, and this page lists quite a few ideas. It starts with a few examples of stag beetle nests just to give an idea of how opportunistic this species is.

Conservation tip!   Stumps, loggeries, and log piles benefit from regular lavish mulches of hard wood chips. So if you live in a stag beetle favoured area we highly recommend you to do this.
