Ecoscaping – Creating Quality Wildlife Habitat on Your Landscape
Presented by Gail Coffey
Butterfly and bird populations continue to drop. Frogs and many turtle species are becoming threatened or endangered. The ecological food web is diminished and presents real threats to preserving ecosystems and wildlife. Fortunately, we can make a difference and be part of the solution by creating quality wildlife habitat in our landscapes.
Using Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Naturescaping Planning Guide, you will learn how to assess your property’s current ecological value and how to maintain or add keystone plants and other important natural features and elements that will support and sustain a diversity of wildlife.
You will find much joy and wonder in discovering all the new wildlife your landscape supports.
