BACKYARDS FOR WILDLIFE

Your backyard can easily be converted into a mini-refuge for native wildlife.  A number of wildlife species have adapted to backyard settings and can be drawn to them by the proper habitat elements.  Anyone - even with the smallest parcel of land - can help wildlife by creating habitat areas around their backyard.
