Food <br />Grow native vegetation — like locally native shrubs, trees and <br />other plants that produce acorns, berries and other seeds — <br />to supply food for wildlife. For birds, feeders can supplement <br />natural food sources. <br />2. Water <br />Provide a constant, reliable source of water with a birdbath, <br />pond or shallow dish. Most wildlife need water for drinking <br />and bathing. <br />3. Cover <br />Create cover for wildlife with densely branched shrubs, hollow <br />logs, rock piles, brush piles, stone walls, evergreens, meadow <br />grasses and deep water. This will protect wildlife against the <br />elements and predators. <br />4. Places to Raise Young <br />Offer wildlife safe places for courtship and nurturing young. <br />Mature trees can provide den sites for squirrels and nesting <br />places for birds. Host plants for caterpillars will ensure the <br />presence of butterflies in your habitat. Salamanders, frogs <br />and toads will thrive in a pond or water garden. <br />5. Sustainable Gardening Practices <br />The way you garden or manage your landscape impacts <br />wildlife in your yard and your entire neighborhood. Planting <br />natives, reducing chemicals and building healthy soil are just <br />some of the things you can do to help wildlife and conserve <br />natural resources. <br />
