Owners of even just a few acres can make a positive difference in their environment through planning and implementing simple stewardship practices, as outlined in
The Nature in Your Backyard Series. These resources are specifically curated (though not exclusively) for smaller landowners with properties under 20 acres.
Whether you have woods in your backyard or a larger woodlot, your land can support wildlife, protect water quality, produce firewood and other forest products, and offer recreational opportunities. From adding native plants to your yard and enhancing bird habitat, to assessing tree health or cutting trees for firewood, these resources will guide you in becoming a better steward of your property.
About this Session:
“An abundance of wildlife” is one of the best indicators of an ecologically well-designed landscape. By understanding how pollinators, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians select their habitats during each season of the year, we can design landscapes that effectively attract and support a diversity of wildlife. This recorded presentation will provide practical methods for how to design your landscaping to attract and benefit a diversity of wildlife species.
