Join Mercedes Maddox to learn how to create a bird-friendly backyard. Whether you have a plethora of acres or a small fenced-in yard, there are many things you can do to add wildlife value to your landscape. During this presentation, we will focus on three necessities, food, water, and shelter, and explore both artificial and natural ways you can incorporate these into your backyard. While many take pride in having a manicured lawn, it’s the mess that’s best! With a few key habitat traits, your backyard can turn into your own wildlife refuge, attracting a wide range of resident and migrant birds. Course Resources:- The National Audubon Society Native Plants Database is a great complement to this course.
