Wildlife Habitats

Habitat, the area where an animal lives, is the key to wildlife survival.  And wildlife conservation can begin in your own home with a Backyard Wildlife Habitat

 

The Basics

The Basics Conservation can begin in your own backyard by making it inviting for wildlife. Use our online resources as you begin planning your wildlife habitat.  It’s really not difficult to create a landscape that’s appealing to both you and the wildlife you hope to attract. Be sure to include the four basic elements wildlife require in order to survive: water, cover, nesting and food. Learn More or Certify Your Habitat
