How
to Create a Wildlife-Friendly Backyard
Information
provided by the National Wildlife Federation
You can
nurture wildlife in your own backyard while making it even more beautiful
by attracting colorful butterflies and sweet-singing songbirds. Simply
follow these four easy tips and grow wild!
- Grow native
plants that offer food for wildlife such as pollen, nectar and acorns.
- Provide water for wildlife with a birdbath or shallow dish.
- Create protective cover for wildlife by placing rock piles in your yard,
planting dense shrubs or building brush piles.
- Make safe areas for nesting wildlife by attaching birdhouses to metal
poles and monitoring their use.
