Even if you only have a backyard, you can help local wildlife.
Many people think of wildlife as something distant--creatures living in natural forests and remote public preserves. But most wildlife in the US isn't found in far-off wilderness. It lives on private lands, in our very backyards.
If you want to help local wildlife, Attracting Wildlife to Your Backyard is a great place to start. It describes 101 practical, easy-to-follow projects that will give your property more food, water, cover, and nesting spots for wildlife. The book features 200 full-color photographs to illustrate the projects and showcase the wildlife you may see more of by doing them. Projects include:
- Set Up Birdfeeders
- Install a Bat Box
- Build a Brush Pile
- Make a Food Plot
- Build a Pond
- Restore a Stream
- Plant Native Plants
Attracting Wildlife to Your Backyard is published by Skyhorse Press. You can order your copy today by visiting Amazon.com or your favorite local bookstore.
