Quick Tips
- Use a Diversity of Plants & Grasses. Incorporate many layers of plant types:
- Trees
- Shrubs
- Ground covers
- Perennials, and
- Lawns
- Add Nectar & Fruit Producing Plants. These plants provide food for benefical insects, pollinators and for birds and mammals. Strive for continuous blooms.
- Add Water, Stone Walls, Woody Debris, Nest Boxes & Feeders.
- Water is essential to all animals. Preserve existing watery habitiats or add a new source. Doing so will attract more creatures for you to enjoy.
- Stone walls and woody debris provide shelter, foraging sites and perching areas for birds and mammals.
- Well tended nest boxes and feeders improve animal health and provide better viewing opportunities.
