Enhancement of Wildlife Habitat on Private Lands – $6.50

Enhancement of Wildlife Habitat cover page

Habitat enhancement can increase the number and variety of wildlife on your property to allow close viewing or study of various birds and mammals. This guide introduces the concept of protecting biodiversity through ecosystem management, discusses what types of habitat can attract or discourage certain animals, and describes how an increase in some insect-eating birds around a garden can naturally reduce insect damage. Includes dozens of illustrations and detailed instructions for making 10 habitat projects, applicable for an urban park, suburban backyard, or rural area.
